The world itself is screaming as the gravity bomb warps reality around itself, but it hasn't even expanded yet. I ignore everything happening above me, since I can't do anything about it anyway. Either the phoenix of light will overcthe spell, or it won't.

I mean, I certainly hope I'm not responsible for the death of the guardian beast of the golden city. I get the feeling a few people might get a little mad about that. Not to mention, he seems like a pretty good chap. For a bird.

I mean, he almost cout and toldthat he would save my sibling if he could, though not in as many words. However, he can't letthrough, which means he's an obstacle to saving my sister. Which means he has to be removed.

I put the fate of the phoenix out of my mind and send it inwards. That steady trickle of Will continues to pour in from the captive, still the sas before. It's a confusing jumble of pain and fear, still growing weaker and weaker, though slowly. So slowly. As if her Will itself were being sapped away, piece by piece.

What sort of insane atrocity is being committed down there?! Do they really think they can get away with it!?

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLL!!!!!

The bomb screams towards its target. Rammon leans his head forward once more, beak open wide.

One moment, the beam of light isn't there, the next it is. A dozen metres thick, it projects itself for kilometres, blasting a sizzling trail through the sky of the fourth. Somewhere, in the heart of it, the bomb continues to propel itself forward.

Weaker than the one that devastated Greystone, it's still enormous. With a rumble, the entire mountain shakes, waves begin to rise and even I feel the pull of it. Redoubling my efforts, I focus on the well I'm manipulating and use it to keep myself moving forward. I wouldn't be surprised if the golden city gets ripped in half as a result of this spell, but that's none of my business. I didn't want it to cto this, but they leftno choice.

A piercing cry splits the air, penetrating through even the endless screaming of the wind, and I can't help but focus toward the great phoenix. With another beat of his wings, Rammon cries out again and begins to gather light into himself. In seconds, he's too bright to look at, not that I have a choice, and he only grows more radiant.

The gravity bomb, a void of pure black, and Rammon, an incandescent figure of light, hang opposed to each other in the air.

He's literally trying to consthe bomb with his own body?! What the heck?!

More and more light is pushed into the bomb, and unbelievably, it grows dimmer and dimmer, shrinking in size as it consumes the phoenix. Such a vast amount of mana and energy is being funnelled into it, and so rapidly, the bomb can't eat it all!

Over the course of ten seconds, Rammon is consumed, until every speck of him is gone, and so is the bomb.

The screaming subsides, the shaking is gone, the waves grow still, but also, the light is gone. Where the phoenix had been, there is now a void, and the light of the city seems that much more dim.

[I AM NOW ORDERED TO DESTROY YOU.]

Oh snap! Rammon? How?!

[BUT I AM LOATH TO CARRY OUT THIS COMMAND. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE THE ATTEMPT, SO I WILL EMPLOY THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF FORCE I BELIEVE WILL END YOUR LIFE, AND HOPE YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO SURVIVE.]

Light explodes in front of me. I get a flicker of an impression of feathers, wings, a majestic beak and deep, all-knowing eyes.

Oh, right, it's a freakin' Phoenix. Of course you can't just kill it once.

Then my world is enveloped in light and fire.
