there's nothing I hate more than what I can't have

And once the water starts to rise
and heaven's out of sight,

It's almost comical to watch the hunt, the ash ferret completely unbothered by the fyrhund. The rodent goes about its merry way, rummaging around piles of stones in search of lava crawlers like it's any other Tuesday. Despite its obvious focus on its own lunch, its ears perk as the Ancient takes one more step too close and Thal can see the moment the hunt fails. 

Sure enough, when the fyrhund pounces, the ash ferret makes a dart for a small tunnel to escape into, which would leave the young woman with no way to retrieve it. Trying not to laugh at the surprise that must be playing through her mind, Thal takes pity on the inexperienced stranger and decides she wants to give her a little more of a chance. 

With a casual flick of her wrist, a small fire appears in the prey's path, blocking the exit and making it let out a small squeak of surprise as it spins to find another path.

she'll want the Devil on her team
