'By now Cessa doesn't know what she's doing. Her actions are fuelled by a pulsing, uncontrollable anger, her movements controlled by burning hatred. Power surges through her veins, her skin crackles with electricity and she feels as if every cell in her body is alight. In her right hand she holds a glistening, glowing ball of fire. There is a change in the air, the presence of raw power, as beautiful as a star, as deadly as a sword and as ancient as the earth itself. Burns cover her hands and the flames lick at her arms but she is oblivious to the pain, blinded by rage. She doesn't even stop to think for a second, she hurls the blazing fire and the inferno she created engulfs him. The orange flames dance and flicker until he is no more than dust, ash and ember.' Her father thought the potion would destroy her magic, but magic that wild and strong can not be subdued forever. Cessa has a secret. A secret she doesn't even know herself.
