“Farouk!” Aeli shouted, as she saw the familiar garments of rangers among the wights. “They’re turning! The injured are turning.”

Farouk met her gaze, and his face masked her concern. They both turned at once, looking back at the chaos that was now behind them. The caretakers were being attacked by their own patients; clawed and bitten as the wounded sprang into new undead form. Aeli gasped; her throat tightening with fear. From the new battle, Allora emerged breathless. Her hands were alight with the magic of spells, and her eyes were wild and terror-ridden.

“Allora,” Aeli called. “What is happening?”

The Alvar lady reached the two of them after fighting her way through the rising wounded. She was mortified. “The wounded,” she began breathlessly. “They are turning even before death. I have never seen anything like it.”

“They have to be killed,” Farouk said, adamantly. “All of them.”

Aeli’s heart sank. She knew that some of her friends were among the wounded. There were innocent people, brave warriors, and even acolytes among them. They were people of all walks of life; coming together to courageously defend the temple.

But they were now the enemy.

“Aeli!” Farouk said, grasping her by the arms. “We have to destroy them. Forget who they were.”

Aeli stammered, struggling to make sense of what was happening. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Allora draw her blade, staring blankly at the people she had tried to defend.

“Then we shall do it quickly,” Aeli said. “They must not suffer.”

Farouk gritted his teeth, nodding his head in agreement.

Suddenly a blast of blinding light appeared a short ways away. Wights screamed and screeched as they were thrown into the air. The sound of steel chopping through undead flesh rang out as the light subsided, and the attacking undead paused.

Aeli’s eyes widened as she saw Jodocus lying prone; propped up on his elbows, staring up at the stranger who had appeared over him.
