He moved to a crouch as there was a noise at the door. His grip tightened on the blade. And he struck as the door swung open. Blade to the throat. First step. Only he never finished the first step. Kolton cried out in agony as heat suffused through him in burning intensity. He collapsed to the ground the blade falling from his grip as he convulsed.
"You dare attack me Slave?" Yorvet demanded. "I am your master now. Highest of the Mages. I can turn you to a puddle if I so desire!"
The heat increased within Kolton and his voice rose to another pitch in agony. What was this! Mages?! They didn't exist. They couldn't, but the agony coursing through him told another story.
Suffuse - to spread over or through in the manner of fluid or light : flush, fill
Added Info -If you are cold or embarrassed, your cheeks may become suffused with a red glow, as though coated on one side with paint. This is reflected in the word's etymology. "Suffuse" derives from Latin suffundere, meaning "to pour beneath," a blend of the prefix sub- ("under") and fundere ("to pour"). Other verbs related to fundere continue the theme of pouring or spreading: "diffuse" ("to pour out and spread freely"), "effuse" ("to pour or flow out"), "transfuse" ("to cause to pass from one to another"), and the verb "fuse" itself when it's used to mean "to meld or join."
