When the water comes, it comes so much more suddenly than could have been expected. Instead of a crashing wave, it comes as what is essentially a horizontal typhoon of water, barrelling over the mountain range. It twist and spirals like a river that has becoming a living thing, crashing through everything - but particularly through the Huntsman's servants.

Of course, it isn't capable of being that discriminating. The water levels rise, the pressure behind them enough to break bones and sunder stone. And that's before it reaches the Thunder Bird.

Lightning meets water. A ripple of thunder echoes through the entire valley, a jolt of brutal electricity radiating through the water. It kills most of the nearby wylderkin instantly, and most of the fighting Wyld Fae have to make an immediate retreat. The Hunt parties retreat back into the mountain, many significantly worse for wear.

As the water surges and the lightning ebbs away, an enormous serpentine figure emerges - made of the water itself, the River Dragon rises.
