Geela stood on the cusp of the volcano, watching her onslaught tear at Sinistrina. The birds’ screams were so loud and their plumage so colorful that Geela couldn’t even tell if the witch still stood.

She glanced off the edge, sparing a hair of valuable attention on the city below. The dark magic that had erupted from Sinistrina had called forth an ugly substance from deep within the ground, rocketing up into the sky like a deadly fireworks display. However, before a single drop of the gunk could plink down on the poor citizens of Haymaker, a dazzling green shield sprang to life, covering the entire city.

Wonderful. As long as Darkos was remembering to take deep breaths and measure his expenditure properly, he’d be just fine. Geela needed to trust him more often.

A scream of fury drowned out the bird calls and drew Geela’s attention back to her own battle. Long gashes of purple energy sliced through the onslaught as the flock thinned, so Geela focused her own energy and prepared to launch another attack.

Finally, with one final flash of violet, the last of the birds fell away, revealing a frazzled, battered Sinistrina. Her hair was torn, her lip bleeding, and her eyes enraged. Geela took several steps away, towards the middle of the giant plug that topped the massive volcano.

“You th-th-think petty b-birds can st-st-top me?” Her voice was a distorted scream, and Geela bent her knees slightly, ready to jump at a moment’s notice. Something had been building in the air, something Geela could begin to feel in the soles of her feet, the nails on her fingers, something she could taste only when exhaling through her nose.

What was Sinistrina planning? She didn’t need this setup for a mere energy blast, pitch snares, voidlings, but then again, physical attacks were a void being’s playthings. A true master of the void didn’t need to rely on such gaudy attacks.

Geela needed to let her summoning rest before pulling the next artifact out, but there was no saying what the witch was building. After all, that first blast she’d hit Geela with… it was more than she’d expected from one of Noire’s children. If this hellspawn could manage something so powerful with such a flimsy attack, what was her full potential? Had Noire really grown so much more powerful since Geela had last done battle with it?

A shiver ran through the air, and Geela could taste metal. She could hear blood rushing in her ears, and she staggered. Though she managed to catch herself, her consciousness felt as though it had already fallen to the ground. Her body shuddered, and her knees buckled. All the energy she’d put into regenerating her summoning magic vanished. She needed strength, but as Sinistrina’s dark magic deconstructed the very components of the air around them, Geela’s body protested.

This was the magic Geela had waited for, and oh, was it stronger than she’d expected. Through the roaring in her ears, she could hear Sinistrina laughing and knew that the witch didn’t even need to launch another attack.
