The power that Tolan could detect was far more than he would have expected. As he focused on fire—he chose fire because he had connected to it before the other elements—he could trace his way down into the fire bond, thinking about the connection that was there. In doing so, he realized this was something he should have done before. He probed, allowing his connection to flow downward, detecting the power that existed within the bond and feeling how that energy rolled outward from him.

It carried him along.

Unlike with the earth bond, where there was a sense of power that dragged him deeper and deeper, with the fire bond, there was a sense of heat and power and it pressed in upon him, practically demanding that he pay attention to it. He tried not to focus too much on that power, focusing instead on what he could detect, but all he could feel was the sense. All he could feel was the power that was there.

Perhaps there was something more.

Tolan let that sense carry him down.

As it did, he felt the energy dragging him deeper and deeper, the power that was forcing him into the fire bond, carrying him along.

That power dragged something deeper and greater than anything he had been aware of before. In the distance, there was a bright surge of light. Tolan focused on that brightness, thinking about what he could see, and he held onto his awareness of it, wondering whether or not there was something more that he might be able to uncover from it. The bright light blasted with a sense of heat and energy, leaving him worrying about what he was going to find. Perhaps lava or fire or steam. Anything might be more than he could tolerate.

In the distance, the glowing light became even brighter. Tolan headed toward it, letting the fire bond carry him downward. As he traveled, he looked around. There were no other elementals, not the way that there had been within the earth bond.

Could whatever had happened to the earth bond have been isolated?

When he reached the flame, he tried to hold himself in the air, trying to keep from allowing himself to be drawn into the fire. He had no idea whether the heat and fire would affect him here, and having no other way of trying to protect himself, Tolan didn’t know if it was even safe to consider going down into the flames.

He looked around. As he had suspected, a field of lava flowed. It was enormous. Heat radiated from everywhere and the lava rippled as it flowed away from him. In some sections, it seemed almost as if the lava had cooled, but in others, it splashed outward, flames shooting into the air.

Tolan had no idea whether he would be injured if he were to be splattered by lava. Within this place, he was separated from his body, connected to the fire bond itself, but not necessarily fully protected. He worried what would happen if he were consumed by the flames.
