Requiem

"I was… what?" Scarlet asked.

"I can't really describe it, lady Phoenix. Your body was covered in Phoenix fire and it was dripping down from you, like liquid," Yao Ning said.

"My armor… something must have broken through it," Scarlet said. "Was it the monster?"

"We are not sure," Yao Ning said. "But… because you were bleeding fire and you were flying towards your home… everything in your path was also burning in fire."

Scarlet paused when she heard that and her eyes went wide. "You aren't saying…"

"You were burning everything and everyone on your path with Phoenix fire, one that you did not seem to have control over at all," Yao Ning said. "And since you have come from the Wasteland… it was the wasteland where everyone was suffering from your flames."

"Had you continued… you would have burned the people in the mountains and then… the capital," Yao Ning said.
