It's quiet now, yet you feel it. Salt water. Fresh water. You can feel the rain on you. Water. So much water. Sanzha.

Sanzha. Sanzha and Sanzha and Sanzha and Sanzha. Sanzha and Sanzha and Sanzha and Sanzha. Everything is a tide and a raindrop and a winter flurry and a spring drizzle.

"It's happening," Donald calls, "Eyes open, she can't be interrupted now!"

[Corwin]

"Good luck!"

Water. WATER. WATER.

It's raining.

The rain flows as Sanzha is silent, lost in her own world. In herself, perhaps.

A storm. A great storm erupts in a moment. Rain everywhere, pounding and throbbing. Rain that pushes into you like a thousand knives, rain that pours endlessly. "What is this?" Amaryl cries.

[Corwin]

Seira draws a dry radius about herself, only a few feet across. "She did it!" she cheers. "I told you Sanzha had what it takes to beat this thing!"

She waits for Sanzha to recover her senses, so that they could return to the Cauldron and consider their next move. For now, she'll keep them all safe!

[Anastasia]

Your voice is lost as the rain pounds through your zone of dryness. It's picking up like a storm, blowing faster and faster. In an instant you lose sight of your friends, the rainstorm torrential.

[Corwin]

It cannot pass, Seira decides. Not so long as Fire is a part of her nature, and she commands her aura to carry the inherent dryness for her.

How are we holding on? she asks the others, as her divine voice can never be interrupted, even out here in the Beyond. And those without it can just pray to her to answer, so this system is as foolproof as one can be.

[Anastasia]

Give me a rank check.

A will like a hurricane, winds and rains engulfing you. Yet you will yourself dry amid the storm as you hear Kascha cry, ""We have to stop this storm," Kascha cries, "It's coming from Sanzha!"

Amid it you feel the storm, relentless and unending.

I've felt Sanzha transform. Converge on her position, and subdue the storm as you go. Use wind to push it, heat to dry it or anything you might think of.

She follows her own advice, extending her divine will in such a way as to block the storm and push it back while leaning on her dry, Fiery nature even as she approaches Sanzha, who remained in their center.

[Anastasia]

With the aura about it's not hard. The storm comes from Sanzha - and yet before her it forms a wall of water, opaque and blocking the way completely. Elle is there, pushed back as she reaches out for it. "Seira!" she calls quickly, "Stop it!"

[Corwin]

Sanzha, you've done it. Now, come back to us! Seira commands, even as she quells the tides. Elemental Harmony is research she had been involved in right alongside Sanzha, and even before that Steam was dominant in the Cauldron. She can deal with Water just as well as she can with Fire!

[Anastasia]

Charisma check here.

Harmony.

Isn't that exactly what you can do? Indeed, the rainstorm comes at last to a stop. It fades and Sanzha is there, hanging limply, but there. "Seira!" Amaryl calls as you can hear once more, everyone racing to you, "It worked! Let's get out of here before something else comes!"
