The fireball's descent parted the darkness gushing out of the chest of the creature and sunk into its chest, where it disappeared, and then like the dawn of a new day, silver flames erupted from the creature.
It came with so much force that the fire rose well over three hundred feet. It was a pillar of flames that bore through the ceiling of the temple and drove Rowan back.
The floor around the creature was depressed into a bowl, as the surrounding floor simply evaporated. The shriek from the creature ceased, as the pillar of flames began to lessen.
Suddenly, a figure leaped out of the glowing crater, it was covered in flames and had only a single leg, it landed on that leg and turned to Rowan, and it shrieked again, its lower jaw extended until it fell off, cutting out its screams.
The figure shook and waved the stumps of its arms as if trying to put out the stubborn flames, it nearly fell before it steadied and tried to run on a single leg.
