The green mana around Aveline exploded outward before snapping tight, forming a dense green sphere around her.
Raviel pushed himself upright with shaky legs, eyes widening.
"…Here we go," he whispered.
Garion folded his arms, expression calm but focused.
"Brace yourself, Raviel," he said lightly. "There's going to be a melody later."
Raviel frowned. "Of course there..."
AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!
Aveline's scream ripped through the hall, raw and furious. The sphere cracked with green lightning from the inside.
Raviel winced so hard he almost folded in half. "Yep. There it is. Melody."
Another sharp scream echoed.
Garion nodded approvingly. "Good projection. Strong lungs."
Aveline's voice came out strained, shaking with pain.
"DAMN IT! THIS...THIS HURTS MORE THAN ANYTHING!"
Raviel cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted toward the sphere, his voice cracking.
"Didn't I tell you before?! It's painful! It's REALLY DAMN PAINFUL!"
Aveline's voice shot back instantly.
