Behind Hollow Eyes

A Star's Fury

**Haven't proof read yet**

The captains had stopped.

Sirius grimaced as the uncomfortable feeling she had been ignoring, finally drew out a huff and a note of her language. Mimosa and Noelle both stood beside her as Sirius's eyes darted among the knights. The feeling was gnawing at her, causing her stomach sink as a new emotion threaten to bubble to the surface. She choked it down, fearful of what it could mean.

Another knight used his stone creation magic to make a perfect replica to show the capital and the points of attack.

Everyone seemed to understand there was need for a plan, and Asta was more charged up than ever.

Asta yelled as he went out the door and Leopold followed him. Sirius looked in worry, but the searing feeling in her stomach and head made her pause following.

"You Black Bull girls, you're with me," Fuegoleon yelled upon a lion made of fire. Noelle quickly grabbed Sirius, as her confusion was evident on her face. She was unsure as their words had become too fast for her to understand and the sickening feeling that ached in her stomach kept trying to escape. She could understand that there were enemies and that people were in trouble, so she allowed herself to be pulled onto the lion.

Upon the fiery lion, they soared through the sky. The blackened skies, full of smoke from the fires and screams of the damned. It was almost too much.

Below, she could see what looked like corpses attacking innocent people.

Suddenly, the pressure with her stomach had become much more than she could handle, so Sirius jumped from the lion.

"Sirius!" Noelle cried out.

"What is she doing?" Fuegoleon glared as the red disappeared in the flames.

As she landed, Sirius opened her eyes to reveal a blood red sky that overtaken her orbs.

Her insides and face were hot, burning from an inner fire. Her jaw was clenched as the feeling she had locked in her core final burst forth and she saw red.

She could not describe the surge that went through her body. It was nothing like she had experienced before.

Anger.

Hatred.

Her grimoire floated up, it had yet to open as the groans of zombies shifted their focus onto her. The screams of people finally echoed away as it was just her and them.

These creatures.

They mocked life.

And anyone who mocks life, creation...

"You will be punished. No one. No one will ever mock mama's magic!"

The anger she felt towards what she perceived as a mockery of her mother's light and life creation magic, had caused Sirius to become furious. For so long, she had never experienced anger or hatred, as it wasn't something she had been conditionally taught. But this was a moment she felt it and it caused Sirius to glow brightly. Her grimoire flipped open to the front.

For the first time, the grimoire glowed differently than normal. Bright, white words etched themself into the pages.

Red orbs watched as the spell completed itself before the grimoire held steady at waist height.

Her first, human spell.

A bright circle appeared behind her, a white hot orb like the sun at noon.

The brightest star in the sky.

"Shooting star!"

The orb absorbed Sirius and rose from the ground as the ghouls trudged towards the light. It flashed through the open area, destroying all bodies in its path.
