A roar of cacophony tore into the air, and Vess' head snapped up, swiveling toward the sound. "What was that?"

Evie, atop a branch, squinted into the fiery distance. "Something—Get down!"

Vess saw it too, an orange-white brilliance that rushed toward them. She thrust all seven of her spears down into the earth and called out. "To me! Atar!"

The blonde mage shoved his partner into Vess' arms and called up a twisting spellform, inscribing several quick sigils into the air with the tip of his blazing finger. It completed, just as Harn snagged him by the collar of his robes and into their bulwark.

White-hot fire washed across them, so hot and fierce that the air became superheated instantly. Atar shouted something, but she couldn't make it out. The spellform he'd constructed flared to life, as orange as the fire outside, and created a bubble around them that deflected the worst of the heat.

Atar screamed as his Mana burned to fuel the shield.

The fire flowed like a river, chewing through trees and the land itself. It was hard to see beyond its intensity, but Vess could make out stone and soil burning up, melting until only char remained.

Then it was gone.

Atar collapsed to the ground, spent and shaking. Alister crouched over him, lifting his head. "You stupid man, why would you risk that?"

"Fire—would have suffocated us all," Atar said. His voice was thin and ragged. He'd pushed himself hard through their fights, and now this. "Had to..."

Alister just hugged him.

"Evie?" Vess shouted. The world around them was one of blackened earth and swirling embers. The immense trees around them had all been turned into vast torches, and the heat had not abated. It was still hard to even breathe, but their Journeyman Bodies could handle it. "Evie!"

Dark wings sent a series of ice spears into the ground around them, and though they began to melt, they carried a welcome chill. Vess glanced up and saw Evie atop Pit's broad back. She waved.

"Pit says to get out, to the southern tunnel. I can see it," she said, swallowing. "The fire is out of control now. We gotta run."

"Wise," Harn grunted. "Reforged are down, so are the hounds. Pit?"

The tenku screeched, and it was filled with both anger and worry. She knew what he would do even before Evie hopped off his back. By the time the chain-fighter straightened, the Chimera had taken off. Flying north.

Toward Felix.
