avanti_90: "A human sacrifice goes horribly wrong">
Continued from all the way back here.
* * *
Tez pulled at the chains, riveted to his wrists, that pinned him to the stone altar in the Cave of Fire. The Burning Woman, which had been one his daughters a few centuries back, before he'd invited a sentient volcano to dine on her, had insisted on it. Which did show a good amount of foresight on her part. Well, mostly.
"You know this isn't going to work," he said mildly, wincing as he flexed his fingers.
YOU WILL BURN FOR YOUR SINS AGAINST US! THE WORLD WILL BURN! the Burning Woman said, flames spitting from her mouth, her veins pulsing lava.
"I don't suppose 'I'm sorry' would be helpful?"
BURN!
"Yes, you said that already."
BUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!!!
The Burning Woman raised her hand, a ball of fire forming in her palm to set Tez alight.
Which was when the geyser of spring water popped through a crack that appeared in the floor, gushing up under the Burning Woman's feet. Cold water met superheated volcanic body, and physics did the rest, as her body suddenly exploded into a thousand shards, shotgunning the surrounding acolytes.
"Well," Tez said reflectively in the silence that followed. "Now how am I getting off this altar?"
