AVAILABLE AS KINDLE E-BOOK AND PAPERBACK THROUGH THE AMAZON STORE.

We fought through hordes of blue eyed Graul, killing most who could do nothing against our strength, until we reached the meeting hall. Borgarinda charged in without thought. I did not see the wave that crushed him until it was too late, nor did I hear the scream as it forced all the air out of his lungs. All I truly heard was the sickening crack as his bones were crushed.
I yelled as anger filled me. My hand crashed into the floor and great stone slabs launched at the attacking Thera-ilma. He fell to the floor, ribs cracked.
Suddenly the Ilma that were trapped there attacked but it stopped at one of our enemy’s words, “Release the flood.”
My heart stopped, and my breath caught in my throat. I heard Selosa yell and saw the spit coming from her mouth. Borgarinda had power over water, yet he could not stop such a bombardment and I wondered what hope we would then have. Suddenly Selosa’s cry seemed to slow. The window’s shattered and I could see every shard, see every vibration as people screamed. I looked down at myself, amazed by the blue flames that seemed to dance upon my body. All of a sudden, those blue flames burst forth like a great swirling tornado. My aura charged at the oncoming wave with a crash that shook the tower. I screamed as the blue flames broke the control of the Thera-ilma, until Selosa and Aila smote them.
The wave crashed to the floor, and I fully released my aura, breaking the wave apart so that it fell harmlessly to the floor as a gentle wave. The hallway became silent as the Thera-ilma and Graul that remained fell to their knees, begging for our mercy.
My eyes scanned the faces of the Ilma held there, falling on one, “Mother.” I yelled as I charged towards her and my father. She embraced me, her brown hair falling across my face.
“You stupid boy.” She said while she stroked at my hair, “You should not have come.”
I laughed as my father looked at me, surprise on his face. What I had unleashed, few of the Ilma could do with control.
