Rising Heat

C: What a nice view.

After months of walking, we finally reached our destination. A beautiful tropical island with a giant mountain in the distance.

C: This place looks populated. There are a lot of houses.

S: I don't know the name of this place. But I know humans use it for vacation.

C: We should take one too.

S: Focus. Where is that shard?

C: From what I can tell, it's in that mountain.

S: Inside the mountain?

C: Yes.

S: Cornelia?

C: Yes?

S: That's a volcano.

C: Oh... The shard is swimming in magma. And it's also moving slightly.

S: If it gets too deep, we can never get it. We have to hurry.

C: How far do you think the volcano is?

S: Like two or three kilometers.

C: Then take my hand. There is no more holding back.

S: Ok.

C: Kanuh Anhduhk.

In the blink of an eye, we were at the foot of the volcano.

S: That was teleportacion magic? I thought we were going to fly.

C: It's faster this way.

S: What if you teleport us inside the rocks?!

C: Then we would finally take that vacation.

S: You are impossible.

C: Just keep moving.

On the top, we saw lava. It was about to erupt at any second.

S: Where is the shard?

C: It's getting lower and lower. But it's in it.

S: Change of plan. I go in. You try to focus on the volcano. Stop the flow of the lava.

C: You want me to stop an active volcano from erupting while you search aimlessly for something only I can sense.

S: Yes.

C: ... Make it quick.

S: I will do my best.

C: Time to use these powers to some good use. Ahinakam if aaqbat drala amid.

Minutes felt like hours. The smoke made people flee. Fearing for their life, they all fled. I was at the very end of my limits. My hands were shaking from withdrawal. I had no other choice but to use chaos. I felt it burn as it kept spreading. I was losing consciousness when Sebastian emerged from the lava.

S: I've found it.

C: Good. Cause.... I can't... last... another... second.

I fell, and he caught me in his arms.

S: It's ok. I got you.

C:...

S: You are something else. Not even your mother would be able to do this...

S: Rest and regain your strength. We will both need it against our battle for the last shard.
