Chapter 7: Miles before peace is found
ooc: Be sure to read the whole post everyone, even though it says "prizzard"
Raknesh's arrows hit Tanzy and she looks furious, moving to attack but then suddenly Prizzard's unexpected plan takes form. As he throws the contents of the mysterious bag towards Tanzy, the spell takes life and the powder seems to move in slow motion, filling the space between Prizzard and the siren. Then, as if gaining a life of its own, the powder rushes toward the woman, covering her completely and crackling like black lightning.
Prizzard: During this your hand is engulfed in pain and it moves into your body and every vein within. It's the same immense feeling of power using your gift brings except a hundred fold! The rush of energy is so overwhelming it threatens to engulf you and you suddenly realize you made a terrible, terrible mistake.
You sink to your knees, struggling to breathe, to stay the dizzying exhilarating force that threatens to burn you out from the inside. Lightning in your veins. It's the only way to describe it. You look over to Tanzy, completely covered in the stuff and you realize now she's been screaming the whole time, her eyes wide and face and body twisted and contorted in pain. Her back arches at an impossible angle, her fingers gnarled and bent in agony and every muscle so contracted you can see veins, sinews, all tightened in a spasm of what can only be called torture. Her body morphs and changes, forming her human legs again as she turns into a human but it doesn't seem to matter now. The scream, never ending, turns into a strangled sob as the light of recognition and betrayal enters her eyes and she gives you the most shocked, hurt look you've ever seen before finally going completely limp. Everything is so suddenly silent it's almost as much of a shock as the rest of it and you look in horror at her lifeless eyes, staring back in frozen accusation. Tanzy is dead.
