Noah watched as Deimos vanished beneath the surface, then surged upward again in a coiling rush of scale and water. The resulting wave was immense, a wall that thundered toward the crag. From above, Noah could see the impact clearly. It worked. More than anything they had tried so far. He beat his wings harder, helping herd the surge inland, feeling the wind and moisture carry his effort forward. The flames hissed and smoke and steam together billoweed into the sky in veiling, massive curtains that even from this distance made the griffin's eyes narrow and blink at the sting.
He went on to find more flames. As he circled, keeping watch for where the blaze might creep next, his mind whirled. Halo’s cold was not kind to open flame. Especially here, over open water and broken rock, something had to be sustaining it. Deimos, he sent through the bond, his tone thoughtful rather than urgent, do you have any sense of why this is happening? His gaze followed the lines of smoke to their source, searching for patterns. This is...nothing but rock and there is barely any moss or anyhting here, but still fire... His words and thoughts trailed off together as he circled the crag, looking for any more signs of flame among the billos of smoke.
He banked again, wings catching the damp air, eyes sharp.
