The tune changed again, softly at first then growing louder... sterner... demanding... staccato!! My heartbeat took over this rhythm - my blood rushed faster through my veins, it was exciting - never felt so alive before. I heard the thumping of wardrums, the singing arrow hitting its target, then thunderclap of explosions, the crescendo of deathcries.
[color:"#a0a0ff"]THIS IS THE SOUND OF WAR ... many fell for its fascination... few thought of the costs...[/color]
I looked up and saw to my horror the crystals had changed their gentle dance. They whirled around, in hunt for their neighbour and then clashed into it. Thrown back by its force they hurled themselves on the next. The whirl became faster and wilder, I could not make out single crystals anymore - just a swirling mass of blue, showering me with shards and splitters.
[color:"yellow"]Noooo, stop it...[/color]
I leapt up as high as I could, trying to prevent the crystals from destroying each other by using my hands to separate them. It was of no use, one crystal after the other cracked and broke, falling to the ground in little pieces. I did not give up, I fought on grimly, determined to stop this dance of destruction... my heart kept on pounding louder and louder, hate grew...
[color:"#a0a0ff"]THE DANCE OF DEATH....[/color]
[color:"red"]UUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRUUUUHHHHHH[/color]
I stopped immediately and stared at Wolfy. He had leapt up, both heads thrown back and he howled at the dancing crystals. His eyes were full of pain, heartrending to see.
[color:"#a0a0ff"]And after the dance of death, the melody of sorrow and mourning comes...[/color]
My hate and anger were blown away, I fell to the ground and panted... The crystal hovered in front of me.
