The lightning crashed again against the blade, blinding and deafening Kat. She fell to her hands and knees as the rock below her rumbled unhappily. She waited, shivering in the cold night air, for the pain to pass, the lights to clear from her eyes, and the ringing to quiet down.
As she blinked spots out of her eyes, the smell of ozone thick in her nose, she caught a glimpse yet again of the aurora. It was truly magnificent, and yet now there was something else about it. Wisps like dead souls flew away, comet tails following as they dashed off into the mountains. However, the worst was yet to come as she finally regained her equilibrium. She looked up, and the aurora was suddenly gone.
In the sky, something dark moved against the stars. The little dots of light flickered in and out of existence like something was blocking their light. Kat couldn't quite make it out, though it became clearer the more she looked. A snake flew in the sky, utterly silent. Its skin was black and dotted with white, like the night sky behind it, and it was so terribly long.
Kat was transfixed, this time with fear. She had wanted a Star-Adder as an object of intimidation, but she hadn't wanted to meet one in person, certainly not one of this size. She was stock-still on the final blade of the mountain, nowhere to go and utterly exposed. Her only saving grace was that she hadn't been spotted yet.
