lonesparkThe stream of Dark Magic energy Viren is channeling with her staff winds around her, draining some of her own life force as she focuses it with her right hand, charging Harrow's blade as the dragon draws closer. In the end, it's easier than Viren feared to strike down this patriarch of sky magic and storm fury. A thousand years of failure and death on the part of humans have made Thunder complacent enough to reject using most of his magic and try simply rending these pitiful adversaries with tooth and claw. By the time he changes his mind, it's too late.
Viren has triumphed where so many others faltered, with her staff, her many spells, her long years of practice, her magnificent queen, and her unwavering commitment. If she now feels as though her very soul were wrung dry, crumpled and cast-off, well... the price is worth it.
When Harrow turns from the wreck of the great dragon to her High Mage, she does not see the woman he knows. Viren's skin is the bleached grey of ancient stone, her eyes inhuman orbs of darkness sparked with violet flame. She has seen the darkened eyes before, and watched them return to normal shortly after the completion of a spell. This is different and shocking.
