“It Is Too Alike”

No one spoke as they tried to move forward, one step at a time. The energy used to shield themselves against the flaming orbs that kept volleying towards them was overwhelming, and every extra help was used on the way.

They did not know how long they would need to travel before they could leave the flaming zone, but as they progressed, they noticed that the fire seemed to become more and more hot, causing the temperature to rise drastically, and no matter how much energy or how many inscriptions were used, the heat could not be shielded against.

The flames also seemed to become sentient as they advanced, and some of them would merge together into large flaming balls that would explode with tremendous power and cause devastating damage, while others would fly in strange paths, attempting to look for weaknesses in the defense.
