Spent, Delaine lay on the scorched ground where the vanquished armourer once laid, her brown wire fleece torn in many places exposing pale flesh, but unhurt in any way. Sounds of battle were still ongoing, but exhausted from delivering the killing blow, Delaine was unable to bring herself to continue the fight.
Have to... keep going... minions cannot hold out for long...
Then it happened.
"RAKANISHU!"
hA! With all the shamans dead, I alone will lead these fallen to bring favor to me! These hordes will be the elite army of the Matriarch!
Lighting bolts racing from his body, Rakanishu lead the remainder of the fallen against the dwindling numbers of wolves. They trampled over the fallen figure of the bear, crushing dead vines in their path.
Then everything stopped. A frigid blast of air engulfed the army, freezing all but the warped and dark ones in their steps. Even the carvers' movements were slowed.
A scream ripped from her mouth, the agonising pain rippling through her body. Tossing her head back in pure hurt, Delaine shrieked into the night sky. A cloud of gold shimmered into existence, shrouding her in a brilliant aura of power. With a final shriek the gold mist shot up to the clouds.
I can't die here! I'm used to the cold! It's too cold! Can't... Take it... Anymo...
She awoke. Sitting up she glanced around with her inner sight. Brows furrowed as her line of sight swept the barren frozen land. Then a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. Just beyond a snow bank, silver and grey wolves were romping around in the snow, occasionally dodging snow tossed by a grizzly nearby.
Timing was perfect, but by Athulua it hurt. One horde down, millions of minions to go
