The Enchanted World of Shaniah and Seth

Fire power.

Chapter Eighteen.

It was almost dawn, the cold air mixed with the stench of war adds to the chill that creeps into the body.
The combatants are all tired, but the adrenaline in everyone  is high.
The defenders led by Haggart  drove the enemies back once more.
Even the Rocs riders were able to put down the remaining gargoyles. And the mercenaries led by Vlad hacked and slashed on those that the Rocs downed and the archers once again shoots at the few remaining imps which  scattered away. Flying towards  the palace.

Coleene  saw the rise of the dracolich.
She saw the  black hooded figure that was mounted on it's back. It was enormous and horrible.
The wings are tattered  and its glowing eyes  are cold as death.
It flew above the defenders  and it blew its freezing breath.  Those below froze  to instant death. Haggart  saw that and grabbed a big shield  he ran to protect Yna. And used the shield to cover both of them.

The tower of Alaris was frozen useless  with its freezing death.
He could see the dracolich coming closer and closer. He have nowhere left to run.  The riders eyes was fixed on him.

Below the dracolich   the shield that Haggart  moved, and then  he saw Yna  crouched and shivering in cold and fear.
Haggart touched her and she was horrified by the sight.
Haggart's  arm was frozen solid. He was grimacing in pain. 
With his free hand Haggart took his maze and struck the frozen arm causing it to shatter like breaking glass.
The freezing started to work it's way towards his shoulder. Haggart ordered  Yna to cut away his arms from his shoulder.
Yna was crying when she did. And.blood spurted  covering her face.
Haggart  tore of both of the clothes from Yna's  arm and ordered  her to cover the amputated part with it to stop the bleeding. Yna did as she was told with trembling hands.
And once the wound was covered she helped him stand up and put his remaining  arm over her shoulder. They walked towards the castle  walls and they sat there safely for the meantime.
Coleene  saw this and she ordered  Ana to bring the children to the room that leads to the forest.  Ana took Haggart's  son with them. And went through the secret passage  of the palace towards the forest and into the waiting escape boats.
Coleene  then turned and walked  towards the towers.  She reached the spiral staircase  that leads to the top.
Every step she took her anger rose.
Each step her emotions flared. Fear grief anger sorrow hatred,churns her blood.  She began to slowly  glow. It started from the hands where she wore the jewelries given by the last three  survivors  of the great wars. They are now dead. So many of them have died those people whom she had known just recently  in her life.
She vividly saw how Queen Ysa fell down from the same tower she was going to now.  She saw Yna cutting away the arms of Her beloved to save Haggart  from freezing  death.  She remembered how Dhugal was torn into pieces by the gargoyles. How Morielle cried in anguish. And Pan by her side trying to comfort  her mother.
She remembered  how the monsters hacked and killed  all the defending soldiers and warriors.
She reached the top of the towers and she immediately scanned the grounds and she found Alaris in the middle of  the mercenaries.
He was frozen and dead together with many of the mercenaries.  Many of which came from where Alaris grew up.  They stood up pointing their spear upwards against the dracolich.
The tears in her eyes almost blinding her .Not her beloved Alaris...

Coleene  shouted in anger and defiance,
She slowly raised her arms. She pointed her fingers towards Sukhar  and the dracolich. She felt the building power inside her burning yet not hurting her ,She remember the child  inside of her.Does it hurt? No! Not them too.
Her fear flared  inside.  Her anger swelled inside giving her the feeling that every organ in her body is burning. She willed every sensation and focus on all of it towards the jewels.
It was now all shining brightly.
And the first sparks  of flames shoots out. She then focused  her emotions and now her whole hand is ablaze, She then  released all of those emotions towards Sukhar and the dracolich .It saw the flames shooting towards them and it blew its freezing breath which was met by the flames from Coleene's outstretched hands.
The flames of Coleene  gathered and grew bigger  and bigger.  Until it starts  to burn  the dracolich . The flame also consumed. Sukhar they burned both of them screaming  in pain.
They burned until nothing was left but ashes. 
But Coleene  is not done yet, her anger is still not yet appeased.  She still hunger for vengeance and she turned her anger towards the imps they burn and burst like popcorns.,the gargoyles  did not escape  her fury. She aimed at these and they too burned. And her attention turned to the lumbering orcs below at the battle fields and she burned them together with the remaining army.
Those who were lucky was able to scamper away in safety  of the forest.   And finding there is no one else  to burn Coleene  looked  up and shoots skywards.
Her flames shoots up like a pillar of fire that Could be seen up to the Nothern isles and the eastern mountains  and also up to the southern villages.
Then she suddenly, stopped. The flames shoot back into her. She did not feel anything from that but she fell down and she was in pain.
Ysa and Haggart  saw everything, even Pan Morielle and Vlad.
Morielle. Jumped on one of the Rocs nearby  she flew up.
Pan took his own roc and followed.
Once up. They saw the devastation  the whole battlefield  was covered  with smoking dust. From outside the palace walls up to the foot  of the great mountain.  Every one was turned to dust. The war was won but the devastation it left will never be forgotten.
They flew towards Coleene she was lying down  and in obvious pain. Morielle  came to her and held her.
Coleene  took her arms and held Morielle's ears towards her lips and she whispered. "I think it's coming out now!"
