Taking The Spoils

Chase gritted his teeth, willing himself to hold on, but the strain was too much. With each passing second, the ice shield weakened, fissures spreading across its surface. He could see the flames at the edges, threatening to engulf him entirely.

But just whan he thought it was over...

CLANG!

A massive sound could be heard clanging, in the next instant the flames stopped.

Chase fell to the ground as his ice cocoon finally shattered, shards scattering around him as he panted heavily, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle in. Just as he tried to catch his breath, a dragonkin undead lunged toward him, its sharp, decayed claws aiming straight for his head.
