The Frost powers gave me a lot of abilities, and Maddy, too, but none of them were really helpful for increasing speed underwater. Maddy had us going at her top speed, but that was nothing compared to what a storm rider could do. I tugged on her to drop back, letting me take the lead. From an outstretched hand, I let out a thin stream of air.
Immediately,
bubbles formed until I got the balance right, and then one large bubble
enveloped us. The water slipped around the bubble, frictionless, and our speed
increased. Russian torpedoes used the same principle. My wind supply, even
compressed, was limited, but I had plenty of lightning, so I sent arcs between
my fingers, almost as thick as my fingers, to boil the water, creating the same
effect.
We shot
forward through the water, and just like when I cloudsurfed, created a wake
behind us, one that Maddy really expanded until I could see the beginnings of
the circular current, and even felt ourselves rising with the water.
Holy shit, it’s going to work.
