There was a formal send off for her that made her blush. Baron Thakeri made a speech that thanked her for the effort she was about to expend and mentioned the gratitude of the Bormaic nation.

She smiled and inclined her head at the thanks, and when she was asked to speak, she sighed. She mounted the dais and faced the crowd gathered in the early morning light, the eerie glow from the lava fields in the distance.

“Ladies and gentlemen of Bormaic, thank you for your hospitality. I would have more words for you, but I am about to go do something very stupid and dangerous, so I would far rather speak to you again when the move is complete and your city is safe.” She winced at the roar of approval from the crowd.

She raised her hands, and they quieted. “Go about your day and be confident that by the end of the day you will be able to view the cooling plateau that will house the city. Good bye.”

She stepped down from the dais and jerked her head at Aliora. She put the words in her mind so Aliora could read her surface thought. Let’s get going before they start singing or something.

Aliora nodded and they made a beeline for the flier launch area. With a few systems checks, they were up in the air again, and they flew along the path that Hahvi had outlined.

“How is the stability of the flier?”

Aliora smiled, “We have installed compensators and coolers to enable us to get around the landscape.”

“Good. So you know the drill?”

“Yup. I drop you off and then move to the safe zone that you outlined. I wait there until you give me the sign to pick you up again.”

“Excellent. I may be too hot to be close to, and if that is the case, I will make an effort to cool down before I summon you. With luck, I should have this done today, and we can sleep in the city tonight.”

Aliora furrowed her brow. “Why did you tell the council two days?”

“So that the zone can rest and so can I. I haven’t actually gotten to do anything like this before. I know I can, but I don’t know how tired I will be. A day of rest between flattening a mountain and diverting a molten rock river isn’t too much to ask, is it?”

Aliora laughed. “You are quite right.”

It took them another hour to get to the target mountaintop. Aliora held the flier close to the tip of the mountain so that Hahvi could dismount and find her position.

When Aliora and the flier were perched safely half a kilometre away, Hahvi took a deep breath and called fire.
