(No, the fire does burn. Jovie and Adelia are just being protected.)

(Lol. ‘Big gasp’. By who and why, I wonder, though I can probably guess)
group
(So, River can you go again before I go? I think I might know who is protecting them ;))
(It's pretty obvious who, I know.)
Inside the fire, a dark figure stood in front of Jovie, trying to cover as much of her as possible. Wings flared and katana out, they knew they were doing the right thing.

(Here's that betrayal I mentioned earlier.)

Jovie felt a rush of heat wash over her, and she curled herself up to be as small as possible. But surprisingly, she didn't burn. She squinted her eyes open, and through the hot pain, she saw a dark outline.

The undead disintegrated almost immediately and the gargoyles were dispelled.
Kathrina and Veronica waited to see the remnants of their goodly sister and her foolish protector. Veronica held a scroll, while Kathrina impatiently waved her sword around, being careful to avoid hitting any allies with it.
Deep in the blue fire, Reese didn't even feel the heat. By extension, their katana didn't either. Over the years, they had been lied to and probably even used. It was too much to handle. In a way to protect their newfound friend and her possible lesbian crush, Reese took action. In a dramatic moment of choice, he took his katana and jabbed it into Zelda's chest.

(‘Big gasp’. That went a bit farther than I thought)
(How far did you think it was gonna go?)

(I didn’t think Reese would stab Zelda. It literally didn’t cross my mind until now. Lol)
(Really? I've had it planned since the start of the roleplay.)
group
Adelia dropped to the ground as the gargoyles were dispelled, and as the heat died down, Jovie rushed to her aid. "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"Yes…" Adelia murmured. "The heat… what happened?" They both turned to see Reese's katana blade pierce Zelda's chest.

(Kind of obvious now. I’m sitting here wondering why I didn’t think of it before. But, I’m also a sucker for surprises like this, so it actually worked out. ‘Big grin’)

Kathrina and Veronica screamed in horror at the sight. Kathrina pointed her fingers at Reese, sending forth multiple bolts of dispelling magic, spitting curses at the kid.
Veronica fell to her knees, crying hopelessly. All their work, gone in an instant. They had no leader, no dark guide! What were they to do?
group
Adelia reached out and deflected the curses away from Reese. Jovie stood up and attempted to deflect what she could with her sword.
Zelda fell, deader than a doornail. Reese stepped back, panting. Their wings flared up with stress and they seemed not to know what to do.
group
As Adelia deflected her younger sisters' magic, Jovie gently touched Reese's shoulder. "Hey," she whispered kindly. "Are you alright?"

Kathrina growled and sent more bolts at Reese with one hand, sending bolts of necromancy at Adelia.
Veronica noticed the fight and tried to compose herself, failing. Nonetheless, she brought out her special scroll and started to read. Dark clouds formed above, black lightning shooting down to touch the remnants of the undead. No trace was left of the remnants. Bolts shot for Adelia, Jovie, and Reese.
Undead rushed out from the castle, a few newcomers among them. They rushed for Adelia at Kathrina’s command.
"Zelda was my mother," they told Jovie, "so I'm a little panicked from everything that has happened so fast."
(Question, what is Kathrina's magic supposed to do to Reese?)

(Kathrina is trying to dispel/destroy Reese. And to clarify the scroll, it’s a ‘cleaner’ spell that wipes out all traces of a battle, dead or alive. The scroll is supposed to be one of Veronica’s most powerful spells, hence only two scrolls, unlike the dozens she has of other spells)
(What would it do to something that's neither?)
group
"I get that, but- Look out!" Jovie reached over and shoved Reese out of the way of a bolt headed right for them.
Adelia desperately summoned as much light as she could and surrounded herself, Jovie, and Reese with a protective shield. It was weak, but it was there.

(Good question. Um… 50/50 of not harming said creature or hurting it bad. I could flip a coin, or you could. ‘Shrug’)
Reese backed up a little bit, touching the light. "Ow," they said under their breath.
