The once-mighty siege tower, a colossal creation meticulously assembled by the Sicilian forces, now stood as a towering inferno against the canvas of the night sky. The flames roared with unbridled intensity, casting a malevolent glow that painted an eerie scene over the beleaguered city of Prevesa. The crackling and dancing flames choreographed a macabre ballet, their fervor fueled by the engulfing blaze that devoured the carefully constructed layers of hay, wood, and other combustible materials.
Plumes of acrid smoke ascended in ghostly spirals, creating a shroud that veiled the besieged city. The once-imposing siege tower, now transformed into a colossal pyre, loomed ominously against the backdrop of the darkened heavens. The fervent tongues of fire greedily licked at the sides of the structure, each lapping wave a harbinger of destruction and chaos.
