I hope you do not mind if I show him what a true man-made god looks like?[19][13] Your wings unfurl themselves with a flash of light, but you vent the heat away into the rafters where it can safely dissipate. You take a step forward, towards Rekhyt and the corpse. You gesture towards the woman's chains, and the Warmachines quickly release the body. They back the other captives away a safe distance. Fire dances at the tips of your fingers, burning hot with condensed hydrogen.
Rekhyt stands in stunned silence, and you stare at him, expressionless.
"I wish to tidy my garden, Prince Rekhyt."
You do not need to carve a section of the wall to create a dias, but you do it anyway, casting it into the center of the room. You tick your head to William, who kneels down and comfortably lifts the corpse onto it. You concentrate your fire there, incinerating the remains until there's naught but a fine layer of ash and bone fragments. Rekhyt looks ill, but you and William are quite accustomed to the smell of burning corpses.
"[It reminds of] Rodstadt." William remarks softly, in high Empyreal. "[Our failure there.]"
"[It reminds me of many failures, William.]"
"[You owe me a drink for making me miss that party], Phe-Phe. [I know a nice bar. Illegal. Quiet. Owned by an old friend.]"
"Maybe."
[14][12] You take a step forward, and, after some thought, you shape and twist the stone to entomb the ashes. You trap a hydrogen molecule here, a bit of water and ash there. It's not quite as detailed as you had hoped, but on a small plinth of rock, shaped from glassy, shiny silicon, it is a pistol and a pen. You'll have to modify it later...
"I will not weep for a traitor. We have laws in this land. As a guest, you are to abide by them. Murder is not the same as a lawful execution."
[3] "And Rekhyt?" You turn to face him, and your rage boils over as you step close to him. You stop the careful updrafts protecting him from the heat of your blazing wings, and sweat beads on his skin instantly. "If you kill any more of my people - I will treat you as a threat -- and I will show you why you should fear my flames, Prince."
[15 vs 18][14] Perhaps he sees it as a challenge rather than a promise because he draws on you, his knife a gleam of silver. He doesn't attack. With a grin, you lean forward, and, with a trick of theatrics, you blow burning hot fire on his knife, keeping the heat from burning his hand. Steel melts rapidly, and the blade drops to the ground. You straighten. "You are dismissed, Emissary. I will see you in the Outlands."
Rekhyt's lips quirk. Then, he turns and strides out the door in silence, casting aside the bone handle.
When it slams shut, after the Warmachines take the captives outside, William laughs. "That was hot."
"Oh, my [gods] that pun was awful, William." You rub at your face, feeling your anger cool. "Was it too much?"
"[Gods] no. Well, maybe the Ancestors will have something to say, but I thought you did well utilizing your power. Maybe get Cephie to teach you some acting and theatrics?"
"Maybe."
"So, drinks?"
