she had used the wind to carry their voices to her, she figured
it was better than invading their privacy in person to see if they were done
yet. She was exhausted, although not as
much as she would have been if she hadn’t been restored by Justin’s white
flames earlier.
She started walking back to the camp, ready for some sleep,
when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked up and gaped as a very large bird
flew over their position. It had wings
of pure fire, and the body and head of the bird were sheathed in bright flames.
Nora growled, “Fucking hell, what is that girl thinking,
nothing but air between her ears.”
She turned and started to chase her, then stopped, looking
back at the camp. Well this is a fine
thing she thought angrily. The king
would want her to go after the princess, but she needed to protect the
Flame. She considered it shortly then
stomped back to the camp.
She spoke to them in a growl, so much for her toning it down
she thought, “Listen, I just saw princess Nicole fly over. I don’t know what the hell the girl is
thinking but she is probably going to the southern towns to help me kill the
sons of… invaders. So stay here, don’t
move, I can run much faster alone… I’ll be back in two hours, maybe three.”
The both nodded to her in agreement so she turned and ran
for the south, cursing the princess the whole way…

Captain Danth frowned at the scout
that was reporting. Apparently the
entire force of fifty soldiers was currently burning in a deep pit a mile south
of the town. He was a little worried
about that, only having thirty soldiers and not knowing what happened to fifty,
but he really had no choice.
He ordered a pair of scouts to return and report what
happened to Arnath . In addition they needed to report that he was about to take the town and
pacify it. He ordered the other scouts
to report the results of that but to only get close enough to the town to
watch. If he blundered into the same thing
as the other captain, at least it would get reported back. Scant comfort but there it was.
He ordered his men forward in three teams of ten. Teams were usually six but he wanted to be
sure of it, he ordered two guards on the front and back door as the other six
entered the houses and hoped to hell that would be enough…

Nicole was coming up to the first town, she was nervous
despite the fact she was a phoenix. She
wondered how she was going to locate Nora so she circled the first town she
came to. She saw some enemy soldiers,
they were patrolling the streets, and she filled herself with a steely
determination and dove. Her wingspan was
thirty feet, her body was about the size of a wagon and fire fell from her long
feathered tail.
She flew up the street, just a few feet off the ground at a
very high speed, but she could still see every detail around her. Soldiers on both sides of the street caught
fire as she passed, dying in seconds, turning to dust a few seconds after
that. One in her way turned and pushed
wind in her direction. She cawed loudly
in contempt as her fire absorbed it and the sheathing flames grew larger, she
brushed the man with her tail as she passed, incinerating him in less than a
second.
Somewhere in the back of her mind, the eighteen year old
innocent girl cried out in horror at the slaughter she was causing, but the
part of her in control was an eighteen year old bird of prey, these were
invaders, enslavers, followers of a dark god. Death would be their reward.
She flew to the next street and watched in frustration as
the soldiers dove into homes and businesses. She didn’t want to burn down the whole town, and in human form she would
still be formidable, but much easier to kill. Maybe when she found Nora they could come back. She winged off to the next town which was Nerin .
It was fifteen miles away and took her less than ten
minutes. As
