The air was thick with agony.
"Ahhh!!!" Irene's scream tore through the chaos, a raw sound of unbearable pain.
"Stop! Please, stop!" she begged, clutching her side as blood seeped through her fingers.
But the torment only intensified, relentless and cruel. Around her, another scream echoed, desperate and broken.
Before her stood Dacia-her eyes streaming blood like tears, her face ghostly pale, twisted in silent suffering.
"AHH!" Irene shrieked, terror rooting her to the spot.
Dacia's voice broke the silence, sharp and venomous. "Everyone should die! They should die! Let them die!!" Her words rang out, each syllable dripping with vengeance.
Irene felt the world spin dizzyingly, darkness creeping in from the edges of her vision.
Then, as if pulled through a veil, the scene shifted.
She found herself watching the palace burn-flames licking at the walls, smoke choking the sky. People ran screaming, their faces twisted in terror as fire consumed them. Many fell, swallowed by the inferno.
Her gaze caught Lady Alma, frozen in fear, eyes wide and desperate.
The crown prince Nickolai and High Priest Lucas stood nearby, their faces etched with shock.
"You're-you're dead! How could you still... still be alive?" Alma's voice trembled, disbelief and dread mingling.
Irene realized with a jolt: she was seeing through Dacia's eyes now. They were all looking at her.
"A witch!" a knight shouted, drawing his sword.
"Protect the King and Holy Priest!" another barked, as knights formed a protective circle around Nickolai and Lucas.
They charged at Dacia, weapons raised.
But an invisible force hurled them back. Their blades could not touch her.
Argh!!
Splash!
Screams of agony filled the air as knights exploded, blood and flesh raining down.
Suddenly, the dark guards appeared, swift and merciless, attacking from behind.
Swift!
One of them was Arlo. He shouted orders, but no matter their speed or number, none could breach the shimmering barrier around Dacia.
With a cruel smile, Dacia ignited them all in flames. One by one, they burned to crisp ash.
Nickolai and Lucas stood frozen, disbelief paralyzing them.
Lady Alma's voice caught in her throat, fear overtaking her.
Dacia raised her hand again.
A force yanked Alma into the air, choking her mid-breath.
She gasped, struggling for air-then blacked out, collapsing lifelessly to the floor.
Nickolai and Lucas stared, horrified.
Dacia turned to them, eyes cold as ice. She raised her hand once more.
Nickolai's body jerked violently.
Lucas's heart pounded as he watched Nickolai's sword rise against him.
"What-what are you doing, Nickolai?!" Lucas shouted, alarm thick in his voice.
