side. 
    I had a heightened sense of awareness.  I saw every single move his body was making.  Every shuffle of his feet, every hair that moved in the breeze; I missed nothing.
    “I see you came prepared.”  Lord Raylan said as he stopped a few feet from us.
    “ I meant you no harm at our first meeting.  I warned you then.  But it seems that you didn’t understand how serious I really was at the time.”  I replied with power in my voice.
    “ My Queen, I am only here as a messenger.  Come talk with me and I will explain everything.”
    I could see the sly look on his face and he was definitely trying to lure me out away from the Circle.  Alone. Powerless.  Eric tightened his grip on my hand as if to remind me of his only request.  Do not separate.
    “No.  I believe that we won’t be able to discuss this at all.”
    “ Well, I tried to be as nice as I could, but now, I’m going to have to prove my point it looks like.” He said as he slowly lifted his hands from his side and into the air.  Swirls of silver and gray lit up the sky above him.  He was drawing in power. 
    I was startled.  I had never seen anything like it before.  Even when Eric ’s powers and mine united, it was not like this.  There was just so much power around him. It flowed and spun violently into his body and I watched as he jerked from the force of it.  I felt the tension building in the Circle.  Everyone grew more anxious with each jerk of his body, but not even one of them voiced any signs of distress.  We watched as the last sparkle of power entered him.  He dropped his hands back to his sides and spoke with extreme authority.
    “ I will break the Circle of Light.  One of you must die.” Lord Raylan said.
    There was no emotion in his voice at all.  It was flat and unfeeling.  The tone of it made me sure that if I lived through tonight, I was certain to never forget the sound of his voice.  Nor the look on his face.  So empty and I could feel pure evil coming from him.  His aura was as black as midnight in the moonlight.
    Suddenly, he started moving forward with deliberate steps.  Our bond strengthened as our powers emerged from our bodies.  I could sense every King and Queen’s power outside my body as well as inside. 
    The intense colors brightened the area around us.  I had never noticed that brown could be so brilliant, but at this moment it was drowning out all the other colors of our powers.
    The ground began to shake under the Raylan as he made his way closer to us.  Each step became harder for him to make and still stay on his feet.  Cracking sounds came from the Earth as it began to open up and fall away from his feet.  Within a few seconds, the Earth gave way and created a gigantic hole.  To my surprise, he wasn’t falling into it, but floating above it.
    I looked over at Earth King and Queen.  They had their arms raised in the air.  Except for the one that was joining them with the Air King and Queen. 
    I saw them slowly raise their arms just like the ones before them.  Suddenly, the wind picked up.  It blew with the force of a hurricane.  It gusted, blowing leaves and small branches through the air. We had no trouble standing there in the savage winds because our powers didn’t affect us the way it would him. 
    As the wind reached Raylan, I could see his clothes flapping against him, but I could not see any other evidence of it harming him at all.  He stood there with a disturbing grin on his face as he looked back at us.
    The silence of Eric s mind was very uncomfortable.  Come to think about it, I couldn’t hear anyone’s mind.  Not even a faint whisper.  I suppose that I was too involved in the arrival of our guest to realize what was going on around me. 
    The night sky turned a fierce red color as the Fire power joined into the mix.  I could hear Raylan grunt in discomfort.  We were penetrating his power.  I hope that we would be strong enough to defeat him without any loss
