Chapter 3, ----------- To kill a Stormwing----------------------------------
A/N: I own nothing except this stupid plot. ALSO: I'm thinking about changing "Briana"'s name. If you have any good suggestions e-mail me at: ShadowFlare1219@aol.com
What Briana saw would haunt her the rest of her life. Stormwings circled the camp overhead as they made their was to the gate. Wyldon had dispatched Company Eight onto the rider's tracks as the rest of the party continued. With Kel now in command, they bound into the gate and saw before them what had indeed become of Haven. Everyone went in different areas to search. Neal and Briana had both started to cry, but Kel was in pure shock. Briana, shamelessly letting tears roll down her face as she went with Neal and Kel by the Infirmary. Briana gasped and went over to a body near the infirmary door. It was a convict man Kel had often seen Briana care for. She had suspected a relationship between them but that wasn't confirmed until now. Briana wept while holding the man's neck. Kel could tell the stormwings had been at him bad. Briana sobbed and cried quietly for her love. She knew he was a convict, for theft. She knew a happy life might never have existed for them but she loved him all the same. She loved all these people. And now, their bodies had been desecrated by stormwings. She hated the horrid beasts, but no other loathing compared to now. Now she wanted revenge, wanted blood. She wanted them to pay for her pain. Briana let go of the man once named Airk, and stood beside Kel as a female Stormwing floated down in front of them. It was a female Yamani Stormwing and how both Kel and Briana hated her. The creature spoke insincerely, "We are sorry for this, a little. We were not certain if the rules applied, this being a refugee camp, not exactly a fort." The creature frowned. "But then the enemy came with their weapons, and their giant metal insects, and their Shamans. Your people included soldiers, they carried weapons." The Stormwing shrugged. "We did what we live to do. It is the first proper feast we have had in this place, without you to run us off." Both women were angry, no one noticed the wind pick up a little as Kel said, "And it meant nothing to you, that my people took up weapons, and fought for lives, and their families, and their homes, when otherwise they'd have never fought at all." The Stormwing shrugged again, "I said we were sorry. If only you were not stingy, perhaps we might have held off. Practically everyone else lets us have the enemy dead." "The enemy dead" Kel repeated with numb lips. "They let you have the enemy dead." "Who cares about the enemy?" asked the Stormwing, "probably just you." The creature smiled cruelly. "We are done now you may bury what is left." The wind had picked up more as Briana's eyes turned all white. Without warning her leg went flying up to hit the Stormwing in the temple. The blow was so hard the Stormwing fell backwards. There was a long cut on the side of her otherwise perfect face. The cut immediately healed. Briana's eyes turned all black, as she said a few words. The creature went flying into the back wall. She could not move, the mage was controlling her. " You think this is just a game Stormwing? You think you can just shrug of my pain?" The Female beast hit the ground extremely hard. Briana was now hovering 3 feet off the ground, with a navy blue orb around her. Kel was terrified. "Neal can't you do anything?" He came running over. " I'm not gonna get killed." They simply stared in awe as the mage chanted spells and finally impaled the Stormwing on one of the sharpened logs on Havens walls. The strongest female mage in history killed what many thought were immortals. Briana rose up to where the other stormwings were, destruction clearly on her mind, her eyes turning blood red. "Nothing good can come from this, Wyldon said from behind Kel. " Neal there has to be something you can do to stop her." Neal looked at his best friend. " well there is one thing."
