"Eh... uh..." The Viper took Ivak's cryptic answer as a 'yes'. What else? Even though she was a fire reimancer, she herself wasn't immune to her own flames... until now. She could still feel the heat, but it was not actually harming her. This strange power could only come from a God of Flames, the very God who had touch her just chimes ago. Fitting with the unpredictable nature of fire, Aka couldn't decipher what he meant by 'navigating'. Did he mean Constrictors would respect her more? Perhaps, not everyday they could see a tiny little 'small fry' scoff off flames, even Sister Aspia would be impressed. Senka? Ha! Aka snickered at the anticipation in seeing the awed look on her Dhani mug.
He would be watching her, did this mean... "U-uuuh, w-will you be ssstaying with m-" No, of course he wouldn't, he was a God. The Divines' senses of 'watching' would obviously be different than puny mortals bound by the fice senses. Every time he took a step back, Aka's desire to approach him grew and grew, until it was unbearable and she practically wanted to just launch herself into his embrace, but it was too late... he was gone. His form vanished into thin air.
"....." The reimancer felt the heavy aura being lifted, but... a feeling of loneliness struck her. She needed him, she didn't know why, Aka almost cried at the illogical sudden emotional outburst, her only solace was his words about 'watching over her'.
*Crackle... crackle...*
"Huh?" Her thoughts were halted when a feeling of foreboding washed over her as sounds of crackling, burning, bark echoed in her eardrums. She instinctively looked up to find... a rather large burning branch of a jungle tree hanging dangerously, almost separating itself from the tree due to the flames consuming it. If she didn't move, her small frame would be crushed by it. She may be immune to flames, but she was not immune to physical force that's for sure.
*WOOOSH!*
It fell , Aka's eyes widened time seemed to slow down, she flexed her legs and took two swift steps before leaping forward as the aforementioned branch crashed into the ground behind her. She was this close into being turned into a gore splatter. "Ha... ha..." Her flaming bare form took a few ticks to comprehend the situation. Flames, flames, and more flames around her; with each passing moment, they only grew, consuming everything in their path. This... was bad. By now, Aka fully realized the disaster she wrought upon the jungle, but it was not the end, she could stop it!
As much as she disliked most of her Constrictor cousins, she didn't want them to be burned to death... Yuki and Bovi were there. Even if Sister Aspia could stop the flames, Aka would most likely be executed on the spot should this inferno reached and ravaged Zinrah. Clenching her fists, Aka's renewed body extended her right arm upwards, opening her hand like a claw. She focused and res begin flowing out of her palm in the form of reddish gas. They gathered, forming a dense ball of res-gas.
"Alright..." She then began gathering the flames around her, including the ones on her body. She put her full concentration into gathering the inferno, not afraid of being burned in the process due to her new power. As expected, the flames raging around her found a new target, Aka's res, they flocked there and gathered, forming an ever-growing fireball. Once it was large enough, Aka then transformed it into a pile of dirt. She dropped the dirt to the ground. There were still a lot of flames, she needed to move fast.
In an attempt to conserve her res, Aka pulled the previous res-ball and floated it near her right hand, she then flexed her legs and began running forward to the nearest concentration of fire. Holding her right arm to the side, willing her res to gather the red tongues as she passed them "Ha... ha... come on!".
This was going good, with each flame pulled, the spreading devastation of heat noticeably slowed. Another half a chime passed, Aka procured another dirt ball from the gathered flames. She then flowed more res from her right palm, refreshing the previous res-ball. This was her only key of reversing her undoing.
She kept running, fully utilizing her inherent agility, her lithe body piercing through flames without a care. She stood in the middle of a particular conflagration , held out her right hand upwards and gathered them. Another resulting dirt ball, three so far. "Fuuh..." She exhaled, she was not feeling that tired, mainly due to the fact she only gathered elements so far and... the fiery healing touch of the Flame God. Aka felt powerful, not just those false whispers, but she truly felt she could do more than before. Deciding to prove that feeling, the Viper launched forward again, she would not rest until she smite every single children she birthed.
