12. AGONY

The man that fell on the ground found himself in a choke hold from behind. Edward has lunge back on the Man’s back seeing that he was reloading his revolver. Seeing Edward wrapped around gay-ish man, Violet rushed towards both of them.

“You!!!” The man shouted with the remainder of his breath. He tries to lift his gun, whack… Violet kicked at his hand which was holding the revolver. Swoosh… the gun slides away from trio. Ignoring the gun Violet get above the man.

Smack… smack… smack…

Violet rains down heavy punches on his face in an attempt to knock out him. With Edward chocking him and his breath running, the man was losing his hope to get up. Soon blood started oozing out from the man’s face.

Edward felt the warm blood on his face and felt that the man has cease to struggle anymore. Edward releases his hand. He grabs Violet’s fist that was raining down on the man face. He shouted, “Stop!”

Edward felt the warm blood on his hand that had grabbed her fist as he looked at her. Her face was covered in fury, that demanded the poor man’s broken skull. Fortunately Edward had stop her before that.

Violet comes to realisation that she has to stop, only after Edward stopped her fist first, it is not necessary to go any further. Realising that she is on top of the man, that is on top of Edward she got up first. Edward pushed the unconscious man to the side.

Violet looked towards Heath who was marching towards the small man. The Metal door was barely holding on, but it had all come to an end when the man with small stature started to reload his revolver. Grabbing the opportunity Heath ran and ramp the small stature man. Violet heaved a sigh of relief as she extends her bloodied hand towards Edward to stand up.

Then a voice echoed in the room. The lantern hanging at ceiling dimmed, and brighten simultaneously.

“Condensare”

…

“Formare”

…

“Emittere”

…

The temperature rose up in the room. Reaching the point that it can melt candle in moments. Violet felt her sweat forming on her skin as she looked back. Stuart and the rest didn’t had anytime to move. They were still at the body of the hoarse voice man. Then with the damaged door Heath flew few meters away from the small stature man.

“AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Heath voice filled with agony and pain, echoes in the ears of the rest of party and the sound of the metal door falling on the floor rang in the room. Everyone focuses their attention on the source of the voice. What they saw shook their heart. They felt the fear rising up in their blood, spreading to their bones and finally at their skin making goosebumps appear on their skin.

Heath skin was burning, inch by inch making his flesh surface then the flesh started to burn. Bones started to surface slowly only to burn. The fire soon drowned his agony filled scream. Than the fire extinguished only to left behind an unbearable charred corpse, that doesn’t has any skin. Only few bones, almost charred flesh and ashes remain.

“Can’t even look after some insects… tsk tsk” A man with a robe and black hair with small strands of white hair, height almost 1.7m, lean build, With a high nose bridge and bread face. walk towards the small stature man.

“Gomut sir!”

The small stature man shouted in plea tone.

Seeing the small stature man get up he side glance at the Stuart and others. Gomut saw the sharp eyes and black hair Quin grabbing the Revolver. Gomut chanted.

“Condensare”

…

“Formare”

…

“Surgere

Quin took aim and fire at the man in the robemptying the whole chamber.

Bang…bang… bang

A wall of fire rose up. It was like the crimson shade of the sky at sunset covering Gomut and the small stature man. The bullet when come in contact of the wall merge in the wall like they were swallowed by a hungry beast as they show no sign of penetrating the wall. Violet rushed towards the Revolver that was knocked away by her.

The wall of fire felt down the moment Quin’s revolver emptied. Gomut glance at Violet who was running towards the gun that was on the ground. He Started to chant again.

“Condesare”

….

“Formare”

….

Edward saw Gomut’s mouth open and close as he was saying something. Worry that one of them is going to share Heath’s fate once again, he got up and ran towards Violet and grabbed her waist from behind. Slamming her to the ground from behind.

…

“Emittere”

…

Fire first collected in Gomut hand with the first word, than it formed in a shape of ball with second and finally it launched towards Violet with the last word.

But Violet was already on the floor and above him was Edward holding her down to ground. Soon the fire ball passes through from the path which was Violet was walking. It passed above from Edward body making him feel hot on his back and soon a fire erupted on his gown. The ball of fire hits the wall forming a carter and flames engulfing the wall.

Violet got up pushing Edward to the side. Without any resistance Edward let her push him away. As Violet saw what slammed her down on the ground her eyes widen as she saw Edward back being light like a burning meat. With her hand she tries to suppress the flames. After few seconds with her hand being burnt a little and Edward back burnt a lot did the flame extinguished.

The fire on the wall also seems to be extinguished. But then Gomut with a loud voice chanted again.

“Condesare”

….

“Formare”

….
