Chapter 17

#===========================================================================#
| |
| Two diminutive figures stand side by side in a cavernous hallway, |
| one wields a spear with confidence, |
| the other aiming opened hands forward. |
| |
| Both figures are cloaked in darkness as they contrast against |
| the scorching heat that fills the limited space. |
| |
| A dozen of marginally larger figures desperately move forward, |
| as if to escape the ferocious flames, |
| but they are held back by swift movements of the spear, |
| each counter movement skillfully executed. |
| |
| The Ranger seems to be in her element, |
| clearly using her surroundings to maximum effect. |
| |
| The outcome of this encounter does not seem to be in any doubt. |
