As the flames cleared I saw a man, this man was being watched over by Aulak again, she had regenerated quicker that I imagined, this man was being directed towards me and Isolde, he was her puppet. I lifted my hands, my eyes rolled back in my head, with a quick movement, fire erupted from my fingers towards the ball it blew apart sending flames spreading across the chamber, I called on the darkness to show Aulak my power, to warn her she will die this time, flames surrounded us, I felt Isolde move in close to me, her arms wrapping around me, calling loudly I then opened my eyes fully and screamed as I pointed my hands towards where the ball was generated, the fire went into a spinning tube-like entity, looking at it you could see eyes and knives within the flames, the noise it made was like a train coming straight at you, then slowly it started to disappear, within moments it had completely disappeared.<br/><br/>As I lowered my arms and my head, there was a scream, it was a woman's scream, it was a scream of pain, the noise reverberated around the chamber, lifting my head I looked straight ahead, I could hear Isolde calling me, it was distant as if she was far away, I couldn't answer, I had used ancient vampiric magik, I had not used it for centuries, and it had took it's toll on me.<br/><br/>I regained my composure after a few minutes and turned to leave the chamber, I put my arm around Isolde and all I could say was,<br/><br/>"Come"<br/><br/>I re-entered the study, Isolde closed the door leading to the chamber, I sat in the leather chair, just as James entered the study saying,<br/><br/>"Your cab has arrived Miss,"
