Smoke and Mirrors

Betelgeuse looked up towards the sky, her glowing red eye flashing in time to The Red Star. She spit on the ground, annoyed at whatever command she was given and bunched her hindquarters. She leaped, large black feathered wings springing from her shoulders and carrying her a short distance. With the same speed as they had appeared, they seemed to wither and die, the feathers falling out and withering to ash, the skin and muscles pulling away and the bones crumbling. Where she landed, the last bit of the oasis’ greenery around her hooves rapidly bloomed and died as well.

“Have fun playing general, brother,” she called over the den of battle, “There’s a little birdy that needs my attention.”

Betelgeuse prepared for another leap, unaware or uncaring of the eyes upon her. With another flash of star touched wings, she rose out of the oasis and disappeared into the clouds. A star touched ghoul was pushed into the dead spot left in Betelgeuse’s wake, the growths on its skull cracking and falling off and its bones turning to ash as it fell…

Wasn't sure how to illusetrate a ghoul turning into ash so...SMOKE. Tried a tenique here, didn't pan out but hey, always good to experiment. Xiomara is honestly more interested in the fact that a EB just sprouted wings than the ghoul disappating. 

In other news Mom's surgery went well!! All she needs to do next is to get the other eye operated on!! I'm so relieved. As well the fires near us have been contained. Things are hoopefully starting to get normal. (Well As normal as 2020 can be)
