Kray streaks down like a blazing comet intent on getting a savage blow with the force of his body.
It never happens.
A web of wind and water wraps around him and binds him in place. The circle of fire blazes with light as Galo steps up the chains, the hood of his robe doing nothing to hide the determination of his face. “Kray Foresight, ancient dragon from before the present era, murderer of countless healers and mages, dragons, and elementals. Your judgement is at hand.”
He walks onto the air as if it were just more ground. It’s clear from the blaze of his eyes, it’s not Galo speaking anymore. His voice makes the earth shake beneath them. “You have proven you will only misuse the gifts given to you. For what you have done and what you could do the balance is addressed as thus,”
He rams the staff down and ancient words and lines spread out to form a vast blazing circle in the air. Lio in one small circle, himself at the heart, Kray in another. A smaller fourth circle. “Long it has been since such a thing must happen. But happen it must. Your judgement is a mortal, powerless, human life.”
Spears of light erupt from all directions and rip through Kray tearing the fire out of him. He is reduced to the man they always saw.
The fire blazes away in the fourth circle as Kray screams. The Voice that is Galo watches him as his hood is ripped back away from his face. His eyes are twin blazes of ruby red fire. “Dragons must be restored. The damage you did must be addressed as well.” The fire around Galo and the staff flows out away from him.
It is the staff that speaks this time in a soft voice. ‘Are you sure, young healer?’ Galo grins and nods. “Yeah. Best way to address this. Don’t you think?”
‘This too it has been a long time since such has happened.’ Galo looks at Lio as Kray is sent down to the earth still pinned by spears of light. “There’s too few dragons. He was an old dragon. There’s enough here to address the damage and address that too. But we need your permission.”
He looks out over the world then to Lio’s face. “I’m the healer your people need...if you’ll have me.”
