and the roof of my Archives disintegrates. Power crackles above me, swirls

                around me, wraps along my feet below me.
                   I am the sky and the power of every storm that has ever been.

                   I am infinite.

                   A  scream  rips  from  my  throat  just  as  lightning  splits  the  sky  with  a

                   The bluish streak of silver death slams into the tower, and sparks flare as

                blood  to  be  found  is  on  the  rocks  below,  though  I  look  at  my  hands  as

                though they should be covered in death.

                   Tairn roars with the unmistakable sound of pride.
