Bab 1183: Tribulation

For six days the Shiik continued crafting her ocean of flames, and on the seventh, her eyes opened and the eyes on her crown closed.

The calm voice of Rowan resounded in her head, "You shall begin my Tribulation."

 From her spine rose a separate limb, one that was shaped like her previous spider-like legs whose end was as sharp as a blade that could cut through space.

That limb rose and the Shiik began to chant, her voice going low as a whisper and rising high like a storm. Anytime her voice went high, the sharp spider limb would come down and slice down, severing one of the pairs of limbs the Shiik was using for her ritual.

The mighty limbs which continued their arcane gestures despite being severed from her body fell into the ocean of fire with a loud splash and soon sank deep beneath. Unexpectedly there came screams from the limbs after a while as if they were suffering from great pains before they fell silent.
