Tasting Darkness

Chapter 62

Gerald jumped as the ring around us set on fire, the heat warming us while my eyes glowed with excitement. How I had missed having magic. “That’s the best you got,” Gerald taunted. I smirked before feeling the tether to my power strengthen, morphing it before I lifted my hands out to the sides above my head before tossing them down.

The flames exploded in a cylinder-shaped wall around us. The fire flew towards the sky, higher than the castle’s tallest point, and I chuckled while Gerald’s mouth fell open. I couldn’t see those standing outside of our circle, but the murmurs at my reach with the flames had them gasping in shock.

“Pretty sure, I just broke the record for highest,” I giggled.

“Not the hottest,” Gerald said with a cocky grin.

“How hot is cutting fire again?” I asked him.

“Yeah, right 3700, pfft?” he murmured, admiring my towering wall of flames.

“I burn hotter,” I whispered, and his smile fell as he looked over at me. Moving my hand, he watched as I turned my palm up before the flames burned brightly, turning purple and blue burning so bright I watched as he squinted from the harsh rays of light it emanated. Clenching my fist, the wall of fire plunged toward the earth, burrowing deep into the surface of the rock.

It bubbled u p, spewing out of the gaps as I cut a ring around us, leaving us in the center.
