"Why the fuck would I believe anything you promise me, you bastard!!!"
There was no warning for Hakeem to duck, it was only the slight ignition of the flames around Helga that allowed him to move quickly enough to prevent being fried to a crisp. The fire surged forward from her sword and slammed into the other side of the hall.
Hakeem ran towards the opposite end and quickly unraveled the scarf around his neck. "Calm down, Helga. Let's talk about this!"
Helga was beyond listening to reason, she jumped towards Hakeem with a scream, the fire streaming behind her propelling her forward like a rocket.
Hakeem brought up his scarf and managed to block a swing from her, he sidestepped another slice and ducked under a third one.
Helga spun around and released a wide arc of fire and Hakeem had to jump up and hold onto one of the pillars to avoid it.
