the earth ablaze, vegetation obliterated in a quarter-mile strip, steam billows from the mud

[The now-smoking chunk of the park, Thursday, noon, July 30th (day 50)]
[Continued from here]Fiona and Kitty stopped by to see Miss Kaeli to see how she was, as did Zann. The four of them went out for a picnic lunch in the park, and all was good, and then Djinn crashed the party. He went after Fiona and taunted Kitty into breaking the binding on

Smells like fire and smoke but everything's cool around me and it doesn't go to steam when I cry and the only thing hot is my arm is hot hot hurting but I can't let go can't let go or I'll fall and I'm still crying because it hurts!

"...make it stop make it stop I want Daddy..."

It was Zann who saved me flying through fire like magic but it still hurts and it's not going away make it stop I want Daddy...

Fire, pain, light and death behind me and Zann mumbles cries and moans before me, Fiona clings to her and cries for her daddy. I can't move them both, won't leave one behind, their welded together skin to skin and I can barely move myself.

I place my hands lightly, carefully on Zann and close my eyes, everything runs slow but it still runs, from the ground to me into her. I cry as my skin heats and bubbles, not from fire now but from light I can't hold it now, and just moving it makes the fire inside me stir and fight. But I feel her skin cool and then heal and her heartbeat becomes normal and she is still marked inside by those flames but its just a mark.

She moans again or maybe its a sigh or maybe its mine, but their no longer welded skin to skin and I can fix the rest when we're away. "Terexia," I call in a firmer tone. I run a finger lightly along the side of her head clearing the cloud in her mind, "Time to go, we need to leave, now." That thing will come for us if it gets through the others and its not getting these two.

I can hear Fiona whimpering and whispers of Kaeli urging them to leave. Leave, please.

Oh, you foolish man, as a mortal's challenge lands him in a pool that is now dead and bubbling in heat.

Flames surround the angel, his beating wings seem to keep a blaze from starting, but still they rise around him.

This Djinn of spite will not be happy without death. Let him have one then.

I run towards him.

With the others briefly occupied and one dead I turn my attentions towards the beast that is now charging me. I shift back into my solid demon form to finish this properly. She moves with great speed but I show her the great speed and power of one made of fire. I grab her throat as she lunges towards me mid air. I smile as I draw the beast close to my face.

"You think it will be that easy?" I squeeze a bit harder as I let a little bit of life drain away. "For you I will let your mind show you all the things I am doing to your companions. Sometimes the mind can show you great things, more so that is reality. I will let you listen to the sounds your companions make when I go through them one by one. I will do this by taking your eyes, little one, and leaving your ears to be your true torturer." I laugh again as I raise my arm slowly and wiggle my clawed fingers to heighten the beast's anticipation before I take its sight.
