Or not quite yet.
In the regions a bit away from the cliff Tamerlane fell off, Riko had more or less won the battle with Thatix. The fireflies laid on the sand, paralysed from the scientist's assault. A wave of sand washed over her, but she was too far gone to realise sand usually didn't do that. The wave dragged her a bit down. Then another wave came and did the same thing. Thatix was soon buried under the sand.
But then, Thatix the great snapped awake. The battle-ready influence Laguja gave the buzzing sorceress caused her primal fury to unleash itself. An incredible scream built up from beneath the sand which was starting to ripple and crack because of the heat and fire and burning flames Thatix was building up a bit below ground. A vortex of flames erupted from the sand, scorchingly hot to even stand next to.
Thatix' fragmented mind forgot one thing. The effects of extreme heat on sand.
Her plan had worked. Once again she had a perfectly clear view of the single remaining copy of chancellor Riko, after burning away the sand around her. She quickly flew towards him, but was stopped by some kind of otherworldy barrier. The chancellor was right there, but she wasn't allowed to even get near him.
"Let me through!"
Thatix tried to slam her various bugs into the barrier, but it didn't show as much of a scratch when faced with the fireflies. It was getting harder and harder for her to control herself, and she decided to rest a bit. The fireflies that touched the ground instantly stopped moving, and she felt herself get less smart. She was tired. She had pain in the head. She... She was...
In her dying moments Thatix suddenly realised she was flying against a glass screen all this time.
Thatix was dead too, mere moments before Tamerlane.
