Barriers came in all forms. His barrier had come from the water. He watches from below the waves at the retreating form of the dragon. He smiled and took another gulp of water, passing it over his gills. His thoughts never left the surface of the water for the prying mind of the dragon to hear.

"When you called me an eel, you were closer to the truth than you realized."

Twisting his body, he made for the shore only when he was sure she was gone from sight. His head broke the surface just barely enough for his eyes to see into the sky, and to witness the glinting form of the dragon disappearing off into the clouds. He emerged onto the beach, small seared spots showing on his hide from when the ball exploded and heated the water.

His wings spread and he shook them of the water, sending a rain of salt water onto the sand and his open wound. He hissed softly as the salt burned his wound and slitered toward the bushes where she bard lay. His huge head hovered over her, even as she rollsed over and looked up at him, eyes wide.

When his mouth opened, she expected him to eat her right there, but instead he spoke.

"Sing...heal me, and I'm not speaking of mere flesh wounds...those are fleeting. Just...sing. If I'm to die by the claws of that mud crawler of a dragon, I want to die as I am supposed to be. You...reawakened what I was...So please...sing."
