It was like a pair of nukes detonating inside my ears.
I let out an ungodly shriek as the pain reverberated through my eardrums, burrowing through my skull. All notion of pain tolerance torn asunder, I collapsed to my knees, clasping the sides of my head as the agonizing noise continued without end.
I couldn't hear my own voice over the cry of the sonic device, but I knew I hadn't stopped screaming. My vision flickered, mind reduced to an incoherent mess of thoughts. I should've been unconscious. It would've been a wonderful reprieve from the earsplitting torture I'd found myself.
Teetering on the brink of consciousness, something else in me lingered on. A guttural growl rumbled from my throat. A tidal wave of fury swirled inside, drowning out the pain, the noise, everything but. Just before I blacked out, I grinned.
I was no longer in the driver's seat.
It was.
Revenynt's eyes grew sunken, till the sockets were pitch black, devoid of anything. Flames engulfed his head, reducing the flesh flesh to cinders till the grinning skeleton beneath was revealed. A low cackle escaped the mouth of the otherworldly thing that had erupted from what was once a man.
As the bola arrow shot towards the creature, it moved like lightning, ducking beneath the projectile. The arrow sailed right into the hellish flames crackling atop the skeleton's head; only cinders came through it.
A fifteen foot chain uncoiled from the creature's wrist, aglow with crimson fire. It seared against the concrete, the ground bubbling when met with its ungodly heat.
Cackling once more, the creature swung the chain towards [you], directing its arc so that it might ensnare [you] in a hellish vice and reduce [you] to ash.
