Thalassa
Said you won't forget my name
It wasn't an easy fight. For every leaf she put out, the fire found three more to consume. A foot gained in one direction was lost in another. The heat didn't bother her, but the smoke and ash quickly began to stir, shoved into her face by the wind that whipped through the trees. She squinted, gritting her teeth and pursing her lips against the suffocating fumes. It was hard to see where Liam was, if he'd stayed or fled, but Thal didn't have the time to investigate or avoid making him a casualty in the fire.
Throwing her arm across her face, a hacking cough momentarily disrupted her battle, a tendril of fire leaping to the bark of a towering tree nearby.
Thal let out a colorful and horrifyingly descriptive curse, sweeping out her arms desperately as she planted her feet for a larger push. The magic tugged and drained, a blanket cast over the flames to stifle them. A low growl pressed through her lips as she strained with effort, arms and legs shaking with the battle against nature. But it slowly began to work, the bright display of fire dimming in the canopy's shadows, the progression slowing to a crawl rather than a sprint. It wasn't done, but if she could go just a little bit longer...

not today, not tomorrow.
