Snippet #2537851

Edging near the camp as everyone else got into position, Lana cracked her knuckles and took in a slow, deep breath, making a sure and steady advance as its structures became clearer and clearer. Let's make this nice and noticeable. She pushed one foot back across the dirt and curled both of her hands into fists, raised up at both sides of her body. She slowly relaxed and lowered her arms, facing her palm upwards in a deliberate motion until they were at her waist. After a few seconds of stillness, she exhaled and brought her hands upward as though she were lifting something incredibly heavy over her head. Several cracks webbed in different spots on the ground, glowing hot with magma as embers sparked out from the fissures. In the next moment, those cracks erupted, launching massive pillars of fire into the sky - she focused on height instead of width so while they were somewhat thin, the columns reached high up, taller than the trees so that everyone in the camp could see. She held the position for a few more seconds, letting the fires rise up for a little longer before instantly switching gears and entering her previous stance. A swirling torrent of fire spiraled inside of her palm, growing brighter and brighter until finally there was a white glint and she launched it forward like an arrow. Although the projectile appeared innocuous enough at first glance, she'd given it enough power to store a tremendous amount of energy inside. She aimed directly for one of the watchtowers, the missile exploding on contact - the flame set the structure ablaze and the pressure of the blast knocked the bandit guard out of his tower, both setting him on fire and sending him falling to his death for a certain kill. Her arms reversed motions and now a second fireball was gathering energy in her other hand, aiming to hit the second tower. She grinned slightly, her eyes narrowing. Come on you bastards, we're right here. The smoke from the craters the pillars had created continued to billow upwards, signaling to the enemy exactly where they were. Her eyes shifted over to the general locations of where the distraction team forces were setting up. You're in for a nasty surprise. Lana launched the second fireball.
