Permafrost sat against the desk alongside it’s new brother from her lost Lieutenant. Something she likely would never let go. It wasn’t just a stain on her honor, it was something that affected her to her core; never had a bright future looked so promising to be cut away so bitterly. She’d grit her teeth as she could hear it starting again; the rumble, the wreckage. She even saw a building tossed aside like one would toss a doll house. Again the alchemist struck with their terror.
Again they would have to pick up the pieces. This time she didn’t wait; she burst out of the window with both swords in hand. Sprinting down the side of the building and slamming into the pavement with enough force to leave a pair of foot prints deep into the brick walkway. Her motion seemed to make some of the guards fumble with their weapons only realizing that it was her just as she shot off like a rocket towards where the beast laid into the residential district.
The first thing that stuck out to her was the long arms, the distended gorilla like body and the crow head. It’s legs weren’t fit for it’s huge frame and seemed to wobble as it walked. A long sinous tail wrapped around a tower and launched it away from the city. She’d tsk as she got closer, avoiding the pelting rain of brick from the sky as she noted some buildings crashing down around her.
This thing was positively massive and lucretia couldn’t help but wonder how this alchemist even managed to create a bastard like this. She felt the tugging of something along her body; the innate sensation of magic. The whims of which she thought she had lost. It’s push, it’s pull, the sensation…
It beckoned to her, looming above her like an immense well and she drank deep of it’s draught. Her fingers tickled, her arm stiffened and the woman skidded to a halt as it worked it’s way through her frame. She felt cold and hot at the same time, the powers that be collapsed in on themselves. Her jaw distended and she for a brief moment was granted infinity.
It was a power she never even considered and never even knew that she had it. It was something that came unbidden and this massive orb stared down at her. Dwarfing her as she realized just what it was for this brief instance. What happened next was nothing short of dumbfounding. From her hands a pair of magical seals never before seen by her or anyone still living around here warped out to underneath the mammoth of a beast.
It looked puzzled until… The ground shook, the intense blast that followed was from what only could be described as a black hole overlapped with the intense nature of the sun itself. Such an incredible force that blew her back a few dozen yards, her hand coming up to her and she could see the grooves of the intense magic in her arms. It was not something she had trained for…
But it was something she was gifted sight of seeing to know that she was capable of it. But capable from what? From who? She didn’t even know. She did know what it had done to the beast and her arm. She could see where it was missing the lower most part of it’s massive leg. It didn’t register for the both of them; her jaw dropped and it roared in pain.
She did that? With who? With what? She was a frost mage! Not… Her gaze slowly dropped down to those grooves. They weren’t there earlier either. Something had made it’s presence on her body and she’d have to figure it out later. Gritting her teeth in pain as the unfamiliar magics wracked her body the werewolf continued to vault and leap over the edges of the buildings. THe huge beast was now on one knee clutching at the stump that Lucretia had created….
