Rune's expression became colored with surprise. 'What is this,' he wondered. This newfound control over fire. It felt similar to the time when he had fused with Raya and gained her control of the elements. But that power should have died with her.
Rune quickly shook his head from side to side. Now wasn't the time for this. Where ever this power came from, it didn't matter. What mattered was that it could give him chance at surviving.
His sword stabbed deep into the Mountain Tunneler's tough flesh. The flaming blade penetrated easily like a knife through butter, burning its way through and spreading flames to the surrounding flesh.
The Tunneler screeched and began to thrash in pain. It seemed to have a weakness toward fire.
