Hi Splinterlands Fam!!! Got this Gold Foil "Sorriel The Bale" from End of Season Chest. What do you think summoner combo for this?
Sorriel the Bale blazes with flame and anger alike. People flee from him, believing he is some kind of demon conjured up from the abyss to torment them. This only enrages him further, and he throws balls of flame as they retreat. He cares little for what he burns and destroys in the mayhem that follows. He is indiscriminate and unstable, like a blood maker gnome's gadget, and few are safe when he is around.
Only a handful know of the true torture behind Sorriel's prodigious anger. Not long after his birth, he was shackled and bound to the wizard Coveus, who placed rings of torment about the efreeti. Coveus fashioned manacles, armlets, and a crown of gold for Sorriel to wear, but this gold was forged with icewater stone from the frigid depths of the ice fields in the Wild Northeast. These watery bindings caused Sorriel immense pain and filled him with an unrelenting fury that could never be sated. Coveus paraded the great efreet around, an exhibition of his magical prowess and the power he now commanded. He used Sorriel to punish his foes or those that aggrieved him, and he would offer the efreet for hire for exorbitant fees. But as much as he tried, Coveus could not fight the passage of time, and eventually, age caught up with him. When he died, his final wicked deed was to leave Sorriel shackled in the torment of pain that Coveus had imprisoned him within.
It is a brave person indeed, to include Sorriel in their warband, for although he can cause insurmountable carnage, you can never be quite sure who the victims will be. And to this day, the efreeti still wanders the land, searching for someone who will release him from Coveus’ cursed bindings.
==========================================================
Sorriel watched as his flames coursed through the campaign tents, burning supplies and bodies as they went. Each scream that rent the air stabbed at the torment that prickled beneath his icewater bindings. He was desperate to scratch at the irritation, but that would only make it worse, like rubbing salt into a wound.
Sorriel’s employer, the Baron Mauburg, chuckled next to him, the flab of his chins shaking and slapping against his gorget. The sound of the man's mirth rankled Sorriel almost as much as the blistering throb of cold beneath his crown.
“A good job, eh?” Mauberg turned to him. “You've exceeded my expectations, efreeti.”
Sorriel wanted to rip the repulsive man in two and burn his insides to a crisp, but he didn't. He kept his wrath in check. “Now you will pay me what you promised.”
Mauberg gave a throaty laugh. “I would slap you on the back if your flame wasn't so bright. You truly are a remarkable creature.”
“What do you mean?” Sorriel glared back at him through the billowing smoke.
“I can’t remove those bindings of yours any more than I can stop the sun from shining.” Mauberg turned his nose up at the stench of burning flesh. “You need an alchemist, and a good one at that. They’re enchanted with magic, those bindings, the sort that will bite back like a rabid dog when you try and put it down.”
Sorrel’s rage bubbled inside him, threatening to overflow. “So you had me do all of this… for nothing?”
“Not for nothing,” Mauberg replied, nodding at his personal guard as they started to surround the efreet with ropes soaked in water and blades touched by ice. “The area’s safe for me to bring my trade route through now.”
It was not the tricks and falsehoods that resulted in Sorriel’s conflagration. Nor the needless death and destruction he had persecuted on the promise of a lie. It was the condescending smirk that crept across the baron’s face that was the match in the powder keg. Flames burst from Sorriel in a raw explosion of fury. They consumed Mauberg and his guards, burning through flesh to the bone in seconds. And when the bodies were nothing but smoking piles of ash on the ground, Sorriel stalked away, enjoying a small taste of satisfaction for a job that was well done.
