ORIGIN

The rat, now deeply scarred by these crystalline tendrils digging into its skin, seemed to hesitate. Trees were shaking, predators were staring, and realization of the presence of a massive black creature was dawning on the lesser gembound. The voice of instinct was screaming now, almost as loud in its head as the voice from nowhere and the alien impulses.

In the end fire erupting from the black wall and the wall revealing itself fully as a manifestation of death was enough to snap the miserable creature from its haze once again. It could still move. The strange new constructs hurt but they did not impede its movement. Taking advantage of its moment of lucidity the rat turned around and ran as fast as it could into the underbrush and away from the chaos.

- Exit Rat -

Keeping a watchful eye on the wild rat as the horrors perpetrated on its body, but it was ephemeral as the feline appeared to be undergoing a panic of sorts themselves. Rina takes one step towards them in concern but doesn't endeavour to breach their space as that probably wouldn't help, so she still kept her distance from them to perhaps be respectful. Heedfully Rina endeavours to visually perceive what's bothering them, and what they verbally expressed marginally discombobulated her. Who were they imploring not to hurt them? The rat? That would be understandable optically discerning what it just did to the feline, but it sounds like their words directed at everyone.

"Please take it easy... I have no intention of harming you. Should I just leave?" Rina endeavoured her best to console the feline, verbalising softly to them. She doesn't know whether just her leaving will assist, but her presence did seem to initiate some fear in them earlier.

Rina got more concerned as the draconian appears to have snapped as well, as they relinquished a loud screeching sound that made Rina's sensitive ears pop. Albeit Rina wasn't too fazed on how their body started to vicissitude even more since she already established that this one could virtually shapeshift themselves. What was concerning was how the eccentric rat made their reaction so truculent. When the dragon endeavoured to shield her, and the equipollently agitated feline, expectorating liquid blobs of a sort at the rat Rina realised that her words alone aren't going to do the abundance of assistance here. Contemplating how she can help calm everyone while consistently keeping an eye on the dragon and the feline, Rina noticed that a spark appeared in the fluid, giving a similar scent to the scent she smelled earlier yet so different.

Plumes of fire started rising as the sparks landed on the other pools of slime. Smelling the same just like the scent, only much more vigorous it made Rina feel ill.

So that's what it was: fire, which commenced to burn about everything it made contact with, causing the wild rat to flee. The others such as the dragon started fleeing as well, verbalising to her and the others to run. Albeit the peril right now was indubitably taking effect on them physically as much as it did to Rina, probably even worse since the smoke is getting rather dense just as dense as the fogs of Cetus. Rina, however, didn't flee. Instead, she neutrally stared down at the fire as it ploughed through the land, leaving eradication in its path. She can handle this. With that final decision, the draconian-wolf immediately swooped into the air.

Wings were flapping she circles herself above the fire in some attempt to keep pushing it back with the winds from her flying. Prepared she concentrates on her Gem with the intention to douse it with her water. But sadly, trying to hone her Magick after so long while working to fly above the fire safely means she can hardly draw out any Magick. OK... Don't panic, don't get brash just keep circling it and give it another try. That is if the smoke doesn't make her pass out first....

The situation is absolute chaos right now... And she has to fine-tune this right now to keep everyone safe, not in a minute not later, right now. During her circling, she detected that the agitated feline wasn't fleeing if anything seemed frozen in place panic worse than ever.

Well, that may be one reason besides an immensely big crowd that got this one so stressed, the supposed fire from earlier. But this is quite a quandary if Rina can't take out this forest fire right now with her Magick, the feline will be in astringent danger than ever before. If this next endeavour of putting it out doesn't work, she may have to save them and take them to a safer distance expeditiously. Hopefully, that won't be so, and it will, in fact, work this time.

Briefly giving the fellow unorthodox draconian being an apologetic look as they seemingly call out to her, probably beseeching her to flee. Hearing their voice change to whines, she got concerned once again for them as they are in extreme agony from the fire burning away at their flesh. She's going to have to endeavour and extinguish the flames of them additionally, as the outlandish substance on them seems more flammable than the foliage around here.

Oh dear... Eridanus here is in quite the predicament right now. Watching as the other draconian one collapsed to the ground, the wildfire perpetuating getting more intense. The one she's circling is marginally in control as the air from her wings is remotely pushing it back to ascertain it doesn't spread more. One can't say the same for the flames around the draconian one. The heat was initially wasn't too stinging on Rina, her scales appear to repel the pain of it just a little at first, but it's starting to bite at her nerves now.

The other dragon being managed to move a little towards a creek. Please reach it in time... Hurry...

She hopes the other wolf is safe; they appeared to have managed to elude to safety. She hopes so anyway; they did decide between fleeing instantly, so they most likely are. But even so with the way this wildfire is spreading, it's still possible for them and others from afar to be a moral hazard from this fire.

So she endeavours in putting it out again... But still, once again nothing comes. No... She must do this. Determination surged, seeing the repercussions if she fails this. She won't let anyone die here.

Rina was virtually about to stop for a quick second to endeavour and pick up the feline onto her back to take them to a safer place, then return to the fire but she could feel it. An ascendant force of puissance pulsing through her veins, virtually like the plug in the bathtub has conclusively been unplugged on her Gem, letting the Magick in it be free and pool around her whole body. Knowing this was it, she had this one chance to do this to be sure to put the flames out before anyone ends up killed.

Rina opens her maw; a mighty stream blasted out from Rina's mouth, the high pressure of it made the specks of flames be expeditiously mowed down to little embers, then eventually nothing in a matter of seconds the moment this vigorous jet stream hit them. She aims at the edges at first and circles around the fire until Rina determinately got to the centre of the wildfire. An enormous path of ash remained where the fire initially was smoke still stayed alongside steam, flapping her wings with vigorous might once again to blow the smoke away, just about gone and safe away from the feline.

Now it's time for the fire on the other dragon...

Making a quick turn, Rina flies over to the other draconian being, expelling the hose of H2O from her jaw again as she showered them with the water. Extinguishing the flames that are biting at their body and the fire on the ground that they lay on until it was determinately all gone, the other draconian being now at last safe. Phew... Conscientiously Rina goes to land back on the ground, feeling a little dizzy from that stunt and a little thirsty from utilising that particular Spell, maybe that's why it failed at first.
