Pride, Respect, and Love?

BAM! Arad burst into the fifth layer. His maw opened wide as he unleashed a blast of crimson flames, burning a large chunk of the snowy jungle and setting the rest ablaze.

The demon baboons, apes, the yetis, and bigfoot ran away as fast as they could, but the fire quickly caught up to them, burning the whole place.

^Whatever it be, she doesn't seem to be able to do it all the time.^ Arad smiles, "She's struggling to survive, good."

SPLAT! Arad broke through into the endless oceans of the sixth layer, immediately getting entangled by tentacles. "Merlin called you an aboleth, didn't she?" He looked back, seeing the squid whale opening its beak, trying to bite into his scales.
