The Roar Of The Dragon Tries To Pull Us Below

Summary:

Kaeya underestimates the might of a hydro dragon.

Notes:

Written for A Waltz of Judgement Discord's 2025 Drabble Challenge prompt: Falling

Work Text:

They never should've come here, he realises, one sinking ship and thirteen men thrown overboard too late.

The dragon, it did not slumber: Waited, calculating, until Kaeya's fellow crew had let their vigilance fall with the sun's guard. Waited for ale to raise high, a cheer for a victory that wouldn't come. But how could they have known to caution for waves curling over the ship like a kraken's tentacles, splintering through with frightening ease?

Kaeya curses, loud. Reaches out, desperate, so he may hold on for dear life, and prays that he does not fall into the beast's domain.
