The Water Goddess and the Spirit of Waves

Everything seemed to happen too fast for Cora. When Fire woke up all corrupted, it did not sit well with her. She did not want history to repeat itself.

"Come on guys, you can do it." she called out to them.

The spirit was especially worried for her mistress, who was done for the count after that attack. Indeed, the chains that separated Patricia from Shadow and Yusuke did knock her out. It didn't help that she used a lot of energy. However, she wasn't unconscious. She was trying to wake up, but something prevented her from doing so. In fact, it felt like someone was trying to pull her deep into herself. She soon found herself standing near cliff overlooking a turbulent sea.

"Can you feel it?" asked a voice.

Patricia turned to see a beautiful woman with blue and green hair with silver eyes. She just gapped.

"Huh?" she asked.

The lady smiled.

"Can you feel the energy of the water?"

Patricia nodded before asking, "Who are you?"

"I am you Patricia. I am the Goddess of Water."

"Me? I can't be . . a goddess. I mean, I do feel that I am different from most, but . . ."

"Why are you denying what you feel to be true?"

"Because this kind of stuff doesn't happen in real life."

The lady laughed.

"Awww, the modern world, how very narrow-minded humans have become. Patricia forget what everyone else perceives, what do you feel?"

Patricia thinks before saying instinctively, "I believe anything is possible and that others need my help."

"Well said. I do believe you are worthy and will be able to avoid the mistakes I have made. He needs you and the others. Are you ready to remember?"

"No I am not." Patricia said honestly.

"Correct answer. No one is ever truly ready for anything. However I do have faith that you will be able to bear the burden of which you must carry in order to overcome the shadow. Take my hand and we'll see if you can overcome it." the goddess offered.

Patricia hesitated before taking it.

((Skip))

Patricia gasped and tried to find her bearings. The emotional roller coaster she went through was nothing she ever experienced before. She looked at the goddess and saw sadness reflected there, but there was also hope.

"My child, you have passed this test, but there is more to come. Wake up!"

With that Patricia opened her eyes just as Shadow ordered an attack. Immediately she stood up just in time for chains to appear. This time she instinctively placed a hand on the wall, causing more water to spurt out of the water sprays on the ceiling to create a wall of protection to prevent the chains from attack her and the others. They died down after that first attack and she looked at Shadow.

"You know Kurasu, I pity you. All this fighting is only going to cause pain for both sides. What is your true goal? Do you think fighting will solve all your problems." she said before looking at Yusuke.

"Yusuke, if you're still there, try to remember, we're family. Please don't do this. I love you, please wake up!" she pleaded.
