Chapter 8 - Chapter 8, Table flip

 As the mage's heart slides down Shade's throat her mind begins to glisten with an image, Shade sees a titan of fire and many followers wearing the same robes as the man, they were all worshiping this titan with the horizon having flames and volcanos spewing undying fire, molten rocks flowing through rivers of lava. The titan speaks in a tone of a deity, almost melting her brain "Bring me the corpse of a dragon, so I may be free!" As Shade looked at the titan's hands where molten chains were wrapped around this titan's wrists, "These chains must be forged by the gods to keep this titan imprisoned in Muspellheim" Shade thought. As the image turns black in her mind a new and familiar scenery was what appeared next, it was her home… The beautiful forest, the lakes that glistened, the waterfall that roared, and of course her home. The man's vision flowed to the left and right which showed a group of at least 2 dozen other followers, they were approaching her home steadily. The image flickered again and next, they were in her home, Fiona had her sword in hand, but her frail body still had some fight left in it, Fiona stabbed a follower in the chest as she parried an attack from behind with her arm leaving a deep cut, leaking her hot dark red blood from the wound. As Fiona recovered from the attack, she kicked the follower who had just slashed her in the chest, the person stumbled back and that is when Fiona cut their head off. The image disappeared again, and it showed Fiona in Shade's kitchen pushing the sword against the man's staff from before, bodies of the other followers dead on the ground, Fiona screams " Why are you here!" at the man, and the man responded with "For the dragon" as he smirked, Fiona hit his staff out of his hand and kicked him square in the chest sending the man flying over the dining table and rolling over the other side. Fiona leaped over the table but was caught midair as the man flipped the table and sent it flying at Fiona, she dodges out of the way as it flew past her and shattered against the roof of the home. In Fionas confusion the man had used his fire magic to take flight towards the sky, hovering over Shade's home he casted a destruction spell towards the home with Fiona still in it. The man sees Fiona try and escape, but she was caught in the blast, engulfing her in the powerful flames. The man stayed there hovering until the flames dissipated, as he looked down at the rubble all of the follower's bodies were gone, turned to ash but Fiona laid there still breathing at the brink of death. She looked up at the man as he approached her, she looked almost somber, like she was ready. The man lifted her by the neck and grabbed a piece of wood that survived the flame, he threw her in the air as she stabbed it her through the head, ripping her head off the top her neck leaving it impaled there, on display. The image turned to black once again appearing in a forest next to a campfire, the man had been asleep when he had awoken to a roar, a roar Shade knew to well, her own. The man took flight and retuned to the rubble of Shade's home and that when he saw Shade asleep in the rubble, the man laughed a hysterical laugh and sat down in anticipation, he sat there all night waiting for her to awake. Once she did the battle began, as the image went black Shade opened her eyes, the birds were chirping and the noise of the animals rang through her ears, she was ready.
