The Light Within

Flames rippled and ate at the roots as Zixin and Nabi continued to plow through the never-ending roots. They continued to lash and block the way to the tree. Keng gulped as he raised his eyes to look up at the creepy eyes of the tree.

"He's up there." Keng pointed. Lady Vix'i fixed her eyes onto the eyes of the tree. Keng's eyes darkened as Lady Vix'i turned her attention back to Keng. He gulped and looked at Lady Vix'i. "They're siphoning energy off of the Foxes." Lady Vix'i's face hardened. She turned back and lifted her hands.

"I guess we'll just have to rip through it." A crack of energy left her and in an instant, the root walls that blocked Zixin's and Nabi's path were instantly destroyed. The energy slammed into the tree, releasing a shriek from the tree. "Zixin, Nabi. The vessel foxling and our people in the tree. Don't recklessly destroy everything."
