Re: Evil Below the Mines
Rissa watched in horror as the trolls descended upon Three Elks, surrounding their companion and beginning to savage him with their claws. She still felt light within her, but it was only enough to keep him breathing, not enough to get him free. She had so much magic within her, even after the Art that she had worked, and none of it useful. There were just too many of them, and even with Jinx's fire magic they were not able to bring them all down fast enough. She looked to Jinx and the others, seeing if there was anything they could do to stop what was occurring, but none of them were pulling any new tricks out of their sleeves. She shuddered, hearing her heart pounding within her chest, as she realized what she was about to do. She could scarcely countenance the act, and yet she saw no other choice. Already they were mangling him, and if they tore him to pieces they would immediately turn upon the rest of them. There were just too many, and they were too strong. She knew without knowing what was to come.
The staff hummed in her hands as she stepped forward, her own Art mixing with the frozen magic of the artifact. The two danced and sung with each other, pushing back the light within until it was just the barest trickle. The Shadow within her twisted and spun, mingling with the frigid power until the two were one. The air grew thick with condensation around her as she drew upon the power within it, the cold rushing in. She focused on Three Elks, her teeth chattering within her skull, and began to shape the magic that would be his doom.
With a rush of ice that sounded more akin to an avalanche, she conjured forth a second massive Wall of Ice directly on top of Three Elks and his monstrous assailants.
