The Last Gambit - Part 10

"Oliver!" Claudia urged. "There's divinity swirling off that fire! We can't leave him to do whatever he wishes!"

Oliver didn't need telling twice. He dashed up the steps even faster, forcing the druid around the other side of the fire to escape. Oliver chased after him again. The druid gave a deep and manic laugh as he danced away. His escaping was quickly coming to an end, though, the distance between them gradually closed and within the span of a short few seconds, Oliver's sword was just a hair's breadth away.

The man yelped his dismay in that manic manner that he had. He seemed to be building up the courage to do something, for he would continually reach his hand towards the fire, only to pull it back in a nervousness.

Just as Oliver's sword came for his back, he finally made the commitment.

"MISTRESS PANDORA, EMPOWER ME!" He shouted, diving straight into the heart of the blue flames.
