I looked around me for a moment after Solanum had disappeared, but I didn't have to wait long for her to show herself again. Before I knew it, Solanum had reappeared right behind me, her sword ready to strike.
Thank the Goddess that I felt the disturbance in the thin layer of water and was able to jump out of the way in time. That was not something that I was expecting. The person I was trying to fight had called the water to this clearing in the forest and was using it to sneak attack me.
"HAHAHA!" The psycho bitch was laughing at me and the shock that I knew was written across my face. "Arrre youuu sssurprisssed?"
"Not really. You are a water Fae." In truth, I really wasn't all that surprised by it. I had been taken off guard, but it only made sense that a water Fae would be able to do what she had just done.
"Innnteressstinggg." She didn't look like she thought it was interesting at all. She looked more like she was pissed off that I wasn't shitting myself in fear at her awesome new power. "Wwwellll let'sssss connntinuuuue, shalllll weee?"
Solanum took another step forward and disappeared into the water. I tried to figure out what she was doing and where she was going but, the moment she was in the water, she disappeared completely.
She disappeared, but not all evidence of her did. I could see small little ripples moving on top of the water. They were tiny and nearly imperceptible, but I managed to spot them. I could tell where she was moving.
I was trying to concentrate, trying to focus on where she was moving to so that I would be able to fight her off when she reappeared. There was a problem, though. I kept hearing a slight whispering, as if it were coming from behind me. Then it sounded like it was next to me, then in front of me. and back to being behind me. The whisper was moving, and I could barely hear it at all.
I could make out what it was telling me, just barely, but I understood it.
"Do what she does." The words were small, almost childish, yet there was an underlying tone that sounded like it was ancient. "Walk in me like she does." I didn't want to answer it though, because that would distract myself from the battle that was taking place. "You're my kin too, young one. You can walk in me like she does. Come now, step, step, step."
The voice, which was sounding so calm and friendly, wanted me to do what Solanum was doing. Was that even possible?
"Come on, cousin, walk in me. Walk in the water." Now, each time that the voice spoke I felt a tugging sensation on my right hand. It was like it was tugging on me and urging me to follow it. In truth, it reminded me of Reagan and Rika when they wanted to show me their latest discoveries or art projects. It was the encouraging excitement of a child eager to share something new and exciting. "Come on. Water walk with me, cousin."

Just as the voice spoke again, Solanum popped up out of the water and appeared before me. There was pure rage on her face, and it was clear that she was intent on killing me. I quickly stepped to the side and attempted to evade the attack.
At the same time that I stepped to the side, I felt the tugging on my hand again. That childlike voice was speaking into my ear again as it called to me excitedly.
"That's it, cousin, walk with me."
The moment that my foot touched the water when I stepped, I felt like I was falling forward and down at the same time. My foot hadn't touched the solid ground like I thought that it was going to. Instead, I was sliding down into the water and felt weightless.
I felt like I was swimming, even though I was just standing there, under the water. I was swimming but I was still able to breath. I could see everything about me like I was looking through a window. This must have been what Solanum saw when she slipped into the water.
"What is this?" I asked but I didn't really expect that I would get an answer from someone.
"This is water walking. No one walks with me anymore. None of the Fae anymore. The water children of the moon swim with me though. They are the ones that love me the most. But you are my cousin too. You can walk with me. I can feel your magic. Walk with me, cousin."
"How? How do I walk with you?" I was confused by this whole scenario. It was just crazy to think that this was happening.
"Just step. All you need to do is walk and you will move. If you want to leave the water just jump. If you want to go back into the water, just think about it when you walk again. You will get the hang of it soon, cousin."
That childlike voice was sounding so excited. I guess even the water gets lonely when it has no one to play with. I decided to follow its instructions and just try to move through the water that was around me. I could see Solanum still standing up there, looking around for me. She hadn't realized that I had gone into the water like she did. That was good, that meant that I had an advantage here.
I circled around her, coming up behind the raging lunatic. She didn't know that I was coming for her and that was a good thing.
"Wheeerre arrre youuuu, biiitch?" I could hear Solanum perfectly. Nothing was distorted at all. That made me really glad that I didn't respond directly to the voice when it spoke in my ear.
Now that I was behind her, in the perfect position, I jumped just as the voice had told me to. I jumped and went flying toward the surface of the water and beyond. The next thing that I knew I was jumping toward Solanum's back with my ice sword at the ready.
She seemed to sense me, but it was almost too late for her. I slashed down with my sword again just as she jumped up and away. This time my sword slashed across her thigh and down to her knee. She howled in pain but didn't let it stop her.
"Youuuu biiitch! Hooooww diiidd youuu ddooo thaaat?" She was pissed at me, that was evident, however she was also shocked.
"I told you, Granny, we're related. That means that I can do what you can do." I matched her angered look with one of my own. I was going to use whatever tricks I already knew and the new ones that I was learning right now. I was going to kill her and end this war.
"Fuuuck youuu!" She screamed, spit flying from her mouth as she lunged at me again. All the games are over now.. It was time to get serious with this fight.
