Attacks Golgoth

 I’d barely time to take in what had happened before Alice stepped between Jenny and the voice from the darkness, protecting her from the malevolence of Golgoth.

My heart leaped in fear for her. She would be the next to die. Dressed in green and brown, with an emerald clasp holding her white hair back from her forehead, she glowed with beauty. In seconds that lovely skin would be shrivelled with cold and her bones made so brittle that they would snap like twigs. Despite her powerful magic, she was mortal; she could not resist the wrath of one of the Old Gods.

As I watched, I saw anger flicker across Alice’s brow. Despite everything, she was determined to fight. She raised her arms and began to chant. Sparks danced at her fingertips. Then she hurled a bolt of light into the darkness, straight at our enemy, and I heard a cry of pain and anger.

I was astonished. Had Alice really hurt Golgoth? Was she that strong? Did she have a chance of winning?
