”It's the Dar Clan, they must be waiting outside of the temple.” Del dismounted and led their horses into the dense under-foliage of the forest. Del and her escort stealthed and proceeded closer to get a better look.
******************
Fajii painstakingly gathered small bits of emerald flames together and would duck down behind the altar each time the flames burst outward. Eron sat on the floor, shielded by the altar, healing her injuries as they occurred. The Scorched Earth Mage wasn't bothered by the green flames, but the silver flames managed to burn through her natural defenses.
/Alpha Team: Fajii: Flames!
Pon, Wind, and Semmi were fighting in three separate hallways. The Fire Mage had no problem holding his own, but the two Gemini Thieves had been in trouble. Eron noticed their health deteriorating and had moved into position long enough to heal them. A moment later flames roared down the hallway, incinerating everything in its path.
Uutha Gerit has been slain.
Tier Aable has been slain.
Penzi Burillium has been slain.
/Alpha Team: Semmi: That was a bad one. How much longer Fajii?
Alpha Team had been fighting for nearly two hours already. Only the breaks between mobs kept them from being overrun. Fajii studied Nix carefully, she had removed his armor in order to find the emerald flames.
/Alpha Team: Fajii: Should be soon, nearly all the emerald flames have been vented.
A sudden stabbing pain in her hand made her pull it back. The last bit of emerald flame was pooled on Nix's abdomen. It seemed to condense for a moment and then formed a flower-like bloom that bought a smile to Fajii's face. ”Beautiful.”
The emerald flower grew darker and slightly larger, Fajii waited patiently for Nix to vent it. Without warning, the blooming flower started expanding. It moved into the silver flames and started intermixing.
”Nix! They are mixing again!” Fajii tried to put her hands on Nix's stomach again but they were immediately scorched black, if Eron hadn't been there to heal her she would have died on the spot.
/Alpha Team: Nix: Take cover in the halls with the others. The flames won't separate.
/Alpha Team: Fajii: I'll stay with you Nix.
/Alpha Team: Nix: Go now Fajii!
Pon peeked into the altar room, he could feel the power growing toward its pinnacle. The old man moved before anyone could react, he grabbed the protesting Fajii and dragged her back to his hiding spot. ”You can't survive this Fajii! He's holding back because he's worried you'll die!”
