Love, let's talk about love
The rumble of thunder was the only warning. Then Lilly howled, and Sah was on his feet, and lightning exploded into the ground. Seren's hands flew up to cover her head as the shock of electricity jolted through her, and red lines were cut across the tender skin as shards of hot glass scattered all around. Even being near this much raw energy was painful, and it had only been one strike.
As the steam rose from the sand with an acrid stench of molten rock, she carefully peeked up to look at Sah. A shard of the glass had made it past her guard, and a cut beneath one eye weeped red in a slow trickle down her cheek. Seren trembled, shocked at the blackness of his eyes. The sheer violence of his temper.
Opening her mouth to speak, she found that her voice had gone. Throat constricted with fright, she tried in vain to produce sound, but nothing came out.
She closed her eyes. Bracing for another impact.

Is it anything and everything you hoped for?
