The dragoness was prepared. Her training with Hrafn may have never included lightning or ice bergs, but it was still rigorous and designed to keep her on her toes. When the first berg appeared directly ahead of her, Svana was immediately to the side of it. As a result, the explosion didn't happen in her face, but rather sent shards of ice in all directions, some of which bounced off her scales. The joys of being a dragon. If it didn't get you just right, it didn't get you at all.
The aqua/featherwinged continued to swerve around the bergs with ease, even as she swam against the current of the fierce river. But there was one thing she hadn't counted on. While yes, she missed the bolts of lightning, there was a residual shock. Svana was unaware of the fact that water conducted electricity. As soon as the shocks jarred her body, instinct took over and she forced herself out of the water and landed on the back. She stood still for a moment. Her sea green eyes seemed lost and there was a stray twitch in her rudder like tail and wings.
Definitely not what she expected, but now something she would be wiser for in the long run. The Lightning blessing and water do not mix. For a moment, she didn't speak, waiting for the literal shock to wear off. By then, she was smiling. "Not bad boys, not bad at all! Got me pretty good, I'd say," Svana said with a pleasant laugh.
