"Atticus Ravenstein. Do you accept the challenged terms? On the event of your loss, you will lose your life. On the event of his loss, he will lose his."
All eyes turned to Atticus next. Now, everything lay in his hands. There was no way he would be so stupid… right?
"I accept."
Eyes shot wide in shock. He had actually dared…
"This idiot is too foolish. He should just get on his knees and offer his life," one from the Redflame faction said, shaking his head.
"It's too late for that. With the Burning in effect, his death is assured," another said.
"At least he would save the lives of his people," the first shrugged.
A Burning was meant to be thorough. Its main purpose was to send a message to the plane, that the Redflames were not to be messed with.
After dealing with the god, their world and people would not be spared. They burned everything into ashes.
