Still Burning (Part 1)

Lith's shadow had become identical to the monster the other boy had left after his death, and now he was also holding Elysia, but in her Abomination form. Whoever the unknown boy was, he was still alive. Whoever he was, he was still burning.

Leegaain took his hand off Raaz's shoulder and the vision fell apart slowly, replaced by reality.

Lith was still in his Abomination form, smiling and playing with the little girl. A wisp of darkness was twirling around his index finger and dancing in front of Elysia's face. She grabbed the wisp and brought it to her mouth, munching it in curiosity.

Elysia spat the darkness out in the form of a Chaos projectile the size of a bead that only the arrays of the Verhen's household neutralized before it could pierce through the walls and hurt one of the farmhands.

"Bad, Elysia! Bad!" Lith scolded her while pulling his finger away. "What if that thing hit someone?"

"Ba?" She repeated, not understanding the problem.
