Bab 268: Crimson Dawn (7)

"I will not hear such slander anymore!" Uriithe's words were barely audible among our screams. As I leapt up into the air in an attempt to escape from the disgusting crimson tendrils, Asher cast a spell to lift everyone else up. 

"I do not remember granting you permission to attack them." Aelith spoke. Uriithe responded, but I couldn't hear her voice over the chaos taking place all around us. I searched for my blade – where had I dropped it when I took that hit from Aelith?

"Kai, they can't get away!" Asher shouted beside me, pointing at Theresa and the others. While his flight spell had begun lifting them up, the crimson tendrils Uriithe unleashed had almost reached them. 

I gritted my teeth. I had no time. I gave up on trying to find my sword and instead dashed forward with a powerful beat of my wings and my flames in hand. 

Before I could do anything worthwhile, a golden light flashed and the tendrils fell to the ground, lifeless.
