The Voice.
The cause of the Blight that had struck through him and so many of his friends, crippling the Greatwood and costing Arduinna her life to reverse it.
She reached for the snake and then burned it away with the same casual cruelty for its death that Wessex had shown for its life. And then she reached out to reward the corrupted Queen for her lack of compassion.
The space was small, but Wessex could only be in one place to receive such a benediction, and Jigano timed his strike – a dragon’s bite, to sever the Ascended’s head and torso from her legs – with serpentine precision, to land in the space before she could reach the goddess, rage for the serpent’s death and the bitter defeat of such an ancient soul burning past all rational thought, even in the presence of a goddess.
Jigano sees where Wessex must be to touch the goddess and attempts to bite her in half in her path to reach the Voice before she can get there.
