But Jolthar was not finished.
As the people of Tekkora watched in amazement, he began to rise into the air himself. His feet left the ground smoothly, as if he were floating.
The silver lightning around his hands spread to cover his whole body, making him look like a figure made of living starlight. His long silver hair flowed around him like water, and his clothes rippled in winds that touched nothing else.
"You want to kill innocent people?" Jolthar's voice carried clearly across the square, though he spoke no louder than normal. The power in his words made the stones beneath everyone's feet vibrate.
"Then face someone who can fight back."
What happened next was almost too fast for human eyes to follow.
One moment Jolthar was floating twenty feet above the ground.
The next moment he was directly in front of Preeyonka, moving so quickly that he seemed to simply appear there like a ghost stepping out of the shadows.
