Chapter 42

As Daniel ran away, Paul turned to the serpentine trapped by his power.

"Imagine pain," he said through the fire of his tears and drew the sword along his arm. The blue fire was the worst pain he'd ever felt and he let a scream out into the night. The serpentine's eyes grew wide. "I was told that the truth hurts," Paul said, "but you have no idea." He ran the sword through his hand and another scream tore from his throat. Blue fire flashed into the sky. "I've even heard that the truth will set you free." Paul took the sword and ran himself through the heart. His scream was an explosion of blue flame and the serpentine was flung away into the air.

Paul pulled the sword from his chest and threw it away.
