Asimona watched coldly as her ice covered the surface of the water. She could see their shadows beneath, banging at the surface. Even though the ice was thin and weak, it held against their assault. They must be drowning if they weren't strong enough to get through. And good riddance, she added silently.
Suddenly, another presence appeared at her side. Something different, something smaller. Its presence was not so demanding or oppressive, but light and sparkling. She didn't bother to look around. She knew she would not be able to see. But she listened as it spoke in her ear. "Asimona, what are you doing?! They're going to die!"
"And what of it," she growled back, but there was an edge of discomfort to her voice. The red dragon had been the one to egg her into it. Her head was clearing as the fire of battle, which had been halted, started to die away.
"You're not a killer, Asimona. You're better then this!"
"No!" The red dragon's presence touched her other ear. "You have to kill them! They are gonna kill you!"
"Asimona, please..."
"Shut up!" She roared out lout, her wings flaring out. She had to kill them, right? They were fighting! They wanted to kill her! But...they were drowning and it was her fault. They were drowning in front of her. She was going to be the cause of their death. Both of them.
She paced for a moment, fighting with herself before she paused, making up her mind. She leaped forward and smashed the ice with her claws, keeping herself up with her wings. She reached down to scoop them out of the water and back onto dry land.
