297 Escaping the horde

I have to do something about them! Eldrian thought, pivoting on the spot. Grabbing a handful of dirt as he did which he threw into the air at the group of undead birds.

The birds weren't at all worried about the dirt, not even bothering to try and avoid it. Their vision seemed to not be all that great, because they didn't even see the fireball behind it. That or they simply ignored the incoming threat. 

Eldrian had really thought they would scatter because of it.  He had done this move because it was often depicted in movies. Yet when he had thrown the dirt, it had hardly scattered. Staying in a fist-sized group it simply flew and fell to the ground. Not even having covered half the distance.

It hadn't even started to hide the fireball!

Yet somehow the fireball had made it into the mids of the group, where Eldrian had let his control of the spell go. Causing it to explode and set a good amount of them aflame.
