The Unraveling - It Burns

A plume of flames shoot out, singing Astraios as it forces him backwards. They lick at Siduri's tail as she lunges forward, sending a wave of pain through her, the skin beneath the fur singing in a deep, bubbly burn.

Bellatrix briefly catches the worm's attention, but another jet of flames shoot out, burning her underbelly, and licking across Atoll's cheek, causing another deep burn there.

The wolves around the rim of the fiery crater begin to concoct a plan. They all work together to push a boulder into the pit.

Calliope slips on the rocky ground, sending her crashing nearly face-first onto the boulder. A sharp edge catches the side of her neck, lacerating her as blood begins to seep from the deep wound.

Others help push, working together to free the boulder and push it forward. Tarnish helps too, but in the process scrapes the left side of his cheek along the boulder, causing a deep gash there.

Kuroki finally pushes his whole weight into the boulder, and suddenly it gives. It rolls slowly at first- then picks up speed as it nears the edge of the hellish pit.

Outlaw's paw is caught beneath it as it begins to roll, and suddenly he's sent toppling over the edge, trapped beneath the rolling boulder. He hits the bottom of the pit with a sickening crack.

The boulder rolls, teetering near the edge of the pit before it begins to fall. It collides with the base of the monstrous creature, and it shrieks with rage. Its movements are briefly disrupted, obvious in the way it begins to flail. Though hurt, the worm is clearly enraged.

It swivels its head toward Illusion, long tendrils twitching. It begs for more of its attention, and the worm complies.

White-hot pain sears through Illusion's shoulders as those tendrils lash out toward her, slashing down with the precision of a whip toward at her left shoulder. It rises again, looming as though taunting them, ready to once again deliver what rage it still has left in it.
