I slam into a pond of water. Ow. I think I broke something. I try to stand but I yelp in pain. Yep, I definitely feel like I've broken something. I think I broke my ankle or somewhere down those lines. I slowly stand up or at least in a plank position. I wince. My entire body is in pain. I slam back into the water. 

I see my reflection in the water. Whoa. Yeah, I'm glad no one can see me. I'm broken. I have bruises, cuts, and my nose and ear are bleeding. My face normally doesn't look this bad. My hair looks indescribably bad. It's shaggy like a yeti. I splash the water in my face. The blood washes off but not the black ash. 

 She's stronger than me, by far. I haven't fought this hard since the Titans and I think I'm fighting harder and losing. My ankle is broken. I think I am on the verge of death. How am I supposed to fight this thing?

What happens if I lose? I'll try not to think about it, but... if I lose Takhisis will destroy everything. This is earthshattering pressure! I can't lose. I see the water rising around me. I have to keep it up. I have to be strong. I have to protect my mom and maybe die a hero's death, though I'd prefer not to. The water surrounds me and twists and turns. It forms limbs. It forms into a giant version of something. I watch as the water take shape and the arms turn to ice.

The water around me forms into a giant version of myself.
