Description Mira Russel of the Third Division of Healing Warlocks had enormous inaccessible potential.

At least, that was what they told her. When she applied and went through her exams, she was told that an incredible amount of power lay just beneath her psyche. If she could just tap into it, she could become an incredible destructive force, capable of immense devastation. But, for whatever reason, she couldn't. That pool of power remained forever beyond her grasp.

That didn't mean she couldn't do her part. Her mind seemed especially suited to healing magicks. And with dark powers were rising throughout the land, those arts were just as necessary as their more destructive counterparts.

She soon became adjusted to her life as a Warlock, and her naturally outgoing personality meant she became fast friends with those she worked with. With one man, in particular, she became particularly close. They began to train together; something about him pushed her to be the best she could, and vice versa. Together, they quickly became known as two of the best Warlocks in the division.

This notoriety came with a price, however, and they were often assigned to more dangerous missions. Then, one fateful day, their group came under a heavy assault for which they were not prepared.

As Mira watched the man to whom she had grown so close fall, something clicked within her.

And it turned out that potential wasn't so inaccessible after all.

Wow, baby... I am so impressed with the picture and the story. Also, I totally knew that the slightly stronger version of flames looked better

Oh dear....

I love the story! And the colors; they clash in a way that makes sense. That ring of power is also interesting, but I think the effect could be maximized if you tried making it more circular--like how a spring coils up and around? Just a thought.

Thanks! I know it's a silly cliche, but I've always been a fan of the "Heroic BSOD " where a character who's normally a shrinking violet loses it and completely surprises the villain.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by making the ring of power "more circular." I could have made it more like a spring, but then it would have been covering her face more than I wanted; I wanted the energy to be at a slant to show how quickly it was rising.
