'Just make sure I don't feel your... uh, private parts rubbing against my back, or else I'll throw you off,' I warned Blaze, taking a step back as he spread his wings.
"!" With a powerful flap of his wings, we ascended into the air.
Despite the tritonic surges and the storm blocking our path, I had a plan. Just as when we first arrived on this island, I would swim as deep as possible to avoid the torrential currents. This time, I would have Blaze fly as high as he could, reaching the horizon where the storm's effects on the sky would be minimal. However, as we battled against the relentless winds and increasingly intense lightning, I couldn't help but doubt our ability to reach that safe haven.
'Ahgh... Fuck this storm,' Blaze cursed through our mental connection, clearly struggling against the powerful gusts.
