Lightning

Meanwhile, Blaze had caught Solana and the two reached the bottom of the seemingly endless hole. Blaze used his ability to create flames to fall slower with the girl. A small cavern was at the bottom of this hole, and he landed in a small puddle of water. All around, there was crystal glowing all around in this place. 


"Who knew there'd be a cavern all the way down here, huh?" Blaze said, holding Solana. He looked to see the girl unconscious and a large stain of blood on her shirt. 


"Shit! Shit shit shit-!" Blaze cursed, laying her down on the ground and lifting her shirt to see a massive wound. 


She was weak and delirious from her wound. She had lost a great deal of blood, no question that it was the last attack Irea had dished out. He pulled her shirt back down, thinking about how he could help her. He thought about cauterizing her wound and breathed slowly. He then opened his hand, a tiny flame coming out from his palm.
