Pan- Sunburst

Alice’s words had the effect she intended. The boy vanished, and something huge reared up in his place.

Pan let out a great roar of anger: it was thunder; it was an avalanche racing down a mountain destroying everything in its path; it was a giant wave obliterating a coastal town; it was the magma at the Earth’s core spewing forth fire; it was a blade of green grass splitting a rock.

He was now huge, towering up towards the roof of the barrow, still vaguely human in shape but somehow more than that. And the green aura that surrounded him was changing – first to orange, then to red. I could feel warmth on my face.

‘Get down!’ Alice screamed. ‘Cover your faces!’

I dropped the Starblade and threw myself down onto the rocky floor, and shielding my head with my arms as best I could. But the light was so bright that I could see my bones through the flesh. It was as if the fierce fire of the sun itself was in the cavern with us. We were surely all going to burn.

Then the pain became unbearable and I lost consciousness.
