Than was just standing their staring at me like he could kill me with just his look and I smiled right back as I let the shadow's seep out of me, "bring him to me" I commanded as the writhed around his body and his scrunched up with pain as realization dawned on him that the shadow's didn't control me but I controlled them.

He tried to struggle against them pushing his power out to try and break free and I could his power brushing against the Darkness that was now mine, his power was strong but mine was stronger, he came to hover in front of me the shadow's tightening their grip on him as I let the rage I felt toward him seep into them turning them a shade darker to grey, he gasped in The dozen or so warriors who were left standing either willing dropped to their knees weapons at their side's in surrender or came to stand behind Than ready to fight to the death and my snapped from his to Dolions, his hair was now shockingly white and his eye's like black pits.

I hadn't intended to end it like that but as his body slowly turned to ash within the darkness I called it back to me and watch the specks float down on those below, I threw my head back and envisioned those below who still tried to fight for what Than had told them was right, Dolion, Dieanira, the warriors, spreading my arms wide and releasing my power in wave's I opened my eye's just in time to see Dolion and Dieanira slump to the ground in a pile of ash and the commotion of fighting finally came to an end.

Than was dead, the army of death could not outrun their fate as they followed their master into death itself.
