Vira's Fire

**TRIGGER WARNING: VIOLENCE, BLOOD, LANGUAGE, ADULT CONTENT****
Blue flames rise high into the air. The snow on the ground around the fire is now water, exposing the stone below. Evon has long since stopped screaming. Instead, his body is mostly chard. The deed is complete. Justice is served. The people have their peace of mind back. What little they can at least. Evon's death can never satisfy the loss they suffered. It is enough though, for now.

I turn to the Tarren family. Matias is comforting his wife, Willa. By their side, their six children stand together. Matthew is holding Mila's shoulders from behind. The rest of her brothers stare blankly ahead. Mila's tears drip down her face onto the snow. I see violence stirring inside her. Evon may be dead, but what he did will never leave this family. I meet eyes with Matias and nod.

"It is done," I tell them, "Let your vengeance be satisfied."

With that, I turn and jump off the landing platform. I shift mid-air and fly around the castle. Now, I have an intruder to deal with.
