“Thrum”.  And so it begins once again, the dance of life and death. A concentric wave of raw electromagnetic energy raced away from the Dreamer, merging and fusing with the monomolecular structure. The influx of energy strengthened the lattice work.  Pulsations of Seidhr echoed through the lake, twisting, entwining and lancing through the dark tendrils of Galdhr that had spread like a spider web across the lake. 

The water changed its physical state, becoming a gas as the immense energy slammed home. However where the energy touched the black tendrils, the monomolecular bond, already infused with Galdhr and Seidhr absorbed the energy, channeling it through the vast spider-web that floated a few below the surface of the lake. 

The energy  circulating through the network released the energy a picosecond after it had absorbed it, a picosecond after the energy traversed it towards the Dreamer further down. The entire lake surface became a huge burst of plasma, releasing upwards in a wide field as nearly two cubic tons of water transformed into plasma in a tremendous release engulfing and setting afire anything directly above it. 

While a majority of the plasma would miss the Fireen, the import of the tactic was more subtle. It created a burst of intense energies into the air. The pure water surrounded by the lattice of galdhr felt the impact of Fury’s attack, buckling and rippling as the lattice work sparked and shimmered as it absorbed the brunt of the energy. Some but not all, of the energy, was diffused. That which pierced the dark shell ran into the pure water, which is an excellent insulator, slowing the heat and electrical energies.  

The electrical charge that the Fireen seemingly fired at the Dreamer now diffused in the pure water. However, it would not last long. The immense energy that was released would quickly ionize the water creating a conductor for that energy. The heavy ionization would begin to trace a path towards the war sword which acted as a lightning rod, drawing the masses of ions into a swirling mass around it. The Fireen would produce the jumpstart that Skallagrim needed and in short order.
