Awakening

Dexerion yelled at the top of his lungs as he enveloped his entire body in flames. Fire-filled veins appeared all across his body as blood began to pour from his arms. 

"What is he trying to do?" Laina asked as she, along with everyone else, looked on in horror. 

Ramona was in shock. She knew exactly what he was attempting to do. She went up towards him, reaching out her hand as she pleaded. 

"Dexerion. Please don't do this! If you do this, there's no turning back!" 

But it was too late. Dexerion was engulfed in rage and anger, nothing Ramona said could get through to him. She attempted to dispel what was attempting to do, but it was useless. 

Taking advantage of the situation, Dexerion grabbed onto Ramona's staff. She fought him for it but it was useless. He pushed her to the ground, just as the staff becomes engulfed in flames too. 

"Ramona!" Laina called out to her as she went forward to help.
