Chapter 383 - Inferno

• I glance to the left even as my fire sweeps through the enemy line, consuming everything in sight, realizing that even though I’m raining destruction on our foe there’s still…so, so much more work to be done. There are just so much of the Atalaxians. And they’re starting to respond, to turn on my whirlwind of flames, to fight back.
• I watch, curious, as the enemy begins by trying martial force, shooting at my flames with shells and bullets. But that does nothing but make me smirk as I continue to destroy everything before me, the flames reaching out to snag tanks and trucks off the ground, reducing them to ash. And it’s not just what’s on the ground, either. I see the flash of Cora’s lightening in the distance, but some helicopters manage to get into the air, heading for the flame. Eager, the blaze reaches for them with what looks like demonic hands, snagging them out of the sky and smashing them to the ground in flaming arcs that look like meteors falling from the sky.
• I breathe deeply as I work, joy humming through me, satisfied, finally, to feel like I’m doing something when I have felt so…so helpless in the past weeks and months. And even as joy pulses through me I feel myself shaking too because it’s not nearly as effortless as it was, even if I am hungry for it.
