OUT OF THE ASHES
As another monster lunged for the kill, mouth wide and broken teeth bared, my magic opened up unbidden, uncontrollably.
Power flooded me, rushing through in a whirlpool of memory and pain, a roar that filled me with a thousand freezing agonies, dragging me down into the pits of my every despair. Down into the deepest depth of my power.
My magic connected me to the rain hammering from the sky and the blood pooling on the ground and the pulse in every vein of every creature within a mile. I could feel it. All of it. I felt the monsters, their pulses thick and jagged and starved.
