Post #916427 in The Gift, a roleplay on RPG

The five blasts of death touch sliced for her form right after the bolt of lightning rocked the area. The smell of burnt flesh and blood coated the area, but above that was the stench of rot and decay. She slid back her palm extended forward towards the five bolts of necrotic energy, the snake heads caught three of them devouring the energy and coiling it in between their heads in a black miasma. She took one of the blasts and the last blurred past her as she stepped towards the side at the last minute. Her body grew weaker, just as the bones reanimated into blackened skeletons lunging at her again. She snarled and then raised the staff to the sky lightening snarled through the now open air as the tent lay around them in ruins. Another bolt struck the staff and arched around her form as her eyes glowed brilliantly blue she slammed her free hand out as energy arched through all the undead that lunged at her two of them turned to nothing but ash as she dispelled the magic that held them. Two of the others lost half of their forms and the last dodged it completely hitting her squarely in the chest and knocking her back.

"Rot in Avernus, you wretched harpy. You're the traitor! I should've seen it from day one...winning a battle, losing one, no matter what though, you survived. I suppose you lost this one on purpose, to please your little garden snake?"

She extended her hand to the creatures neck and pushed back as she screamed. His words echoed in her mind as she snarled the snakes in her other hand bit and coiled their necks about the things head in an attempt to rend it from its body. The other two partially destroyed figures bit into her right leg as she hissed and tilted her head back in agony kicking at them with her other leg. ”LISTEN!.. HE HAS GONE MAD! INSANE! He came to my tent ranting about some snake! Saying I WAS A TRAITOR! HELP! He has GONE MAD! EHHH!” she screamed out as the snakes disentangled the things head from its body the skeleton digging its claws into her rib cage as her voice grew horse from the agony and screams.

All of their forces had gathered about the battle their eyes shocked and dismayed torn between their commanders not sure who’s side to join as they both made accusations and tried to kill each other.. though Diloxi seemed to be loosing... and as the huge beast pulled itself from the ground her end seemed to be all the more near. Some of the mages faithful to her even began to prepare magic as panic filled their expressions. Energy arched through the staff again and coiled about her bloody and broken body. It sliced through the creatures chewing on her and their forms evaporated into ash and embers the magic that summoned them dissolving and dispelling. She gasped and whimpered as she pushed herself to her feet her blue hair suck to her blood soaked form her eyes hard and angry as she looked from Nhil to the beast... then back to Nhil.

”You have not won.. you’re treacherous ways have cost us all the battles we should have won! I bet you are the saboteur that felled the gates today!!.. You! You’re the reason we lost! Everyone of those battles! YOU! AND YOUR GAMES!” she hissed then gasped in agony nearly toppling over. The staff coiled tighter about her body its tail digging into her flesh leaching away her life force in order to feed its power. The huge war beast lunged as she raised the staff towards the creature. ”DON’T LET HIM EXCAPE!! DON’T LET HIM TAKE CONTROL! HE IS THE TRAITOR!” she screamed out with the last bit of strength... her words twisting his in the minds of those around her.. though even still.. even with the power she summoned and even if the entire army attacked the war beast.. it would be too late.. even she knew this.. as the creatures huge mouth opened as it lunged closer to her. She snarled and violet energy exploded from the staff straight down the beasts throat.. the force of the beasts body hitting her even if it died would kill her.. Diloxi was doomed... though it seemed that way from the start of the battle.
