My flames continued to rage, as if I hadn't heard her at all. They grew stronger with each breath I took.
The Divine raised her hand. The golden shine coming from the sky brightened. More magic, more power flowed to the Divine.
In response, I created yet another flaming spear. The black-purple flames spread throughout the room, threatening Alina and Joshua as well.
"So, you will kill them?" The Divine spoke. Her voice filled with satisfaction and arrogance. Her lips formed a disgusting smile.
A wordless shout left my mouth. A scream – a cry of pain and anger. Wrath and sorrow.
I heard a woman's cries. Alina shouted something as a golden light shone behind the Divine. My sight snapped to it – so she was still alive! I felt no relief, as I had felt no regret at attempting to kill her.
She had betrayed me. The purple flames leapt towards her, only to be blocked by the Divine's power.
