Extract

A flash of the girl’s mother’s face loomed between them: she ran through a door, palms up, desperate and pleading. Like now, a green column of Earth magic was bursting from the teenager. It deluged towards her mother and swirled around the woman like a boa constrictor. Chloe's mother screamed as the teen’s magic forced its way into her flesh, making her body crumple and implode in a shower of dust. Green light exploded outwards with the deadly power of a meteor strike.
