Such a horrible sight overwhelmed the terrified young woman as she tried to escape from the fully emerged black skeleton. All around her, skeletons and beastly creatures arose from the black puddles. Malevolent dark energy cloaked their bodies. The skeleton's crimson eyes stared down at the frightened girl whose eyes were rimmed with tears. A cry of fear ready to escape her throat was cut short by a sword in the skeleton's hand. Slashing it down, the girl's blood soaked the streets, but it was soon absorbed by the sword the skeleton wielded in his hand.

Yarsi terribly clearly felt the energy torn out of the destroyed bodies, its turbulent streams swiftly rushed to the dragon and poured into the skeleton. The sides of the monster quickly overgrown with new parts, closed with a bone shell along the entire length of the spine, turning the skeleton into a semblance of a body.

Pain tore through her body so violently that it robbed her of breath. The last thing she saw was Lucas carrying Sabrina away, with the two children cheering joyfully behind him. Then, the darkness swallowed her whole.
