Ok, two chapters tonight because this one is so short (aren't I so good to you all?). Thanks again for the reviews and I would like to receive many more before this story wraps up. Enjoy!
Confrontation:
"No," he heard her speak and stopped in mid-reach, silently vowing that this unknown man would pay dearly for interfering, no doubt another of Alyana's loyal Dragons, "no more, Camulus. This is the end of it. You've taken from me everything that I have held dear. It ends now." He turned to look at her, she had a crystal in her hand and it burnt a disturbing shade of red. Slowly it expanded and made its way towards him, opening and surrounding him. At first he thought that it was a prison, but then it began to get hot, too hot. The air began to burn his immortal throat and he realised that he could not use his magic to escape.
He was gasping now and dimly he heard her say something, the final words he would ever hear spoken.
"Burn, Camulus, burn with everything that Toby, Alyana, Jareth, I and so many others have suffered with because of you. Burn in our grief, our sorrows and our rage. Take it with you to the seven circles."
With a final despairing scream, he sunk through the ground and down, always down, burning forever in the grief of all the people he had known. Burning in all of the grief that he had ever caused.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOo
He had almost been horrified when he realised that Sarah meant to take her revenge without consulting the council, fearing that she meant to kill the Shadow Lord. But then when he had seen what she really did do, he almost laughed with relief. Her revenge was a carefully thought out one, carefully planned and executed. No one would cross this realm whilst she was queen.
Then she saw him. For a moment she stared, her glowing eyes suddenly the unremarkable emerald that he had first known, all full of vulnerability and tears. Then she whispered his name, and it thrilled him to hear her say it, and fainted.
On to part two...
