THE NEXT MORNING
The silence of the crisp mountain air was peirced by inhuman shrieking. Several demons ran down the corridor towards the dining hall, being persued by Falona. While they sprinted as fast as the could, all she merely had to do was walk. Her magic allowed her to move a great dstance with little to no physical excertion. By the time they had reached the massive dining table, it was too late. Falona was upon them. She floated several feet from the ground, a dark smoke emitting from her body. Her eyes were glowing turquoise as she glowered down at the demons. "You are fools! You think that because you are demons you can simply steal whatever you please?! From the one person in all the land who can make your kind MORTAL??!! you have committed a crime, my minions. A crime that you can only repay in one way." They stared up at her withy raw fear in their glowing embers of eyes. "We...We will do anything, mistress....anything you ask......please...." Falona smiled with a sickening menace. "Oh really? You'll do ANYTHING? Very well then. I want something in return for the belongings you stole from me." The demons got down on their knees. "Yes, yes we will give you anything, mistress! Just name it! It's yours!" The demons croaked. Falona leaned down until she was eye to eye with one of them. "Your souls." She drove her hand into the demon's molten chest. He cried a pitiful sound. her hand came out of him unscathed, clutching a ball of what appeared to be black flame. The demon's body fell and turned to ashes before he hit the ground. After doing so to the others, Falona dissipated the ashen piles with one wave of her hand. She now held six balls of black flame. "Let this be an example to any who should try to undermine me. You will not live." Her voice was sharper than a sword as it cut through the room to anypne else who was listening. Falona went over to her chair at the head of the table. She levatated the black flames in front of her. She chanted a spell in a dead language, her eyes closed. The flames came together to form on large ball of black fire. A bottle formed around the flame, and sat itself down before her. She opened her eyes and took it in her hands, examining it. "Good morning, Corvus. You may sit wherever you wish. Your meal will arrive shortly," Falona said, without glancing away from the bottle.
