Saif struggled and she moved her free hand, and grabbed him with that too. He tried flying, he tried fueling with adrenaline, just to get away. But the souls inside his mind were fighting him.

Heat.

Saif screamed, his diamond barrier was failing. It was liquefying. The diamond was turned into droplets that left his body.

Heat.
