The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

• A Battle Of Fire And Shadow (3)

A body basked in shadows and another basked in flames collided against each other. Their hands were locked, eyes glaring into each other's as they engaged in a display of strength.

Thorin's [Blazing Effect] should have engulfed Spheris in flames but [Nightfall Mantle]'s defensive cloak made him impenetrable.

"Avira was right about one thing!" Thorin roared. "Working together was a waste of time, there can only be one winner!"

The darkness returned to Spheris's eyes. "You had no problem working together up until now! How self serving can you be?"

"Me? What is the difference between what I do now and what you did?"

Spheris's brows furrowed. "I led the men who were going to kill me to their own deaths. You abandoned your friends to die. And for an asinine reason nonetheless." He cocked his head. "Do you really believe us to be the same?"

With an explosion, they both went separate ways. [Nightfall's Mantle] dissipated and so did [Blazing Effect].
