Mr. Stone gritted his teeth and continued to struggle as the fire
reduced him to a sort of "skeleton" with something glowing in the
chest. What they didn't know is that it hadn't been for nothing,
Melody had slipped away and was running away.
He roared, and spun around to throw him into a tree, before
spraying cold magma to harden and trap him against the tree
“subdued” he panted, looking at his own cracked and chafed scales
Yagyu shot a ball of fire out of her mouth at Kayashi, “I’ll kill
you!” She hissed while she struggled in the magma. It was too late
for her to shift, and the magma was too hard to break out of. She
struggled, trying to free herself.
Kayashi smoothly stepped aside. "Uh uh uh, that's not what the plan
is." He wagged his finger as the others arrived on their dragons.
"We're taking you back."
The two others raised their hands, and the dragons moved to raise
her up. "Now, off you go." The two others started to leave. "Now,
all that's left to do is to find that door."
Upon the inspection, they could definitely figure out what
happened. Inside of the magma was a completely perfect shedding of
her skin. It was something that her snake cells allowed her to do.
When she got encased in magma, she slipped out of her skin and
burrowed underground to escape. Since her skin came off, her scent
was completely gone now, and the burrow was collapsed. She can only
shed her skin every so often, so she saves it as a last resort. She
was gone, for now.
Melody looked down at her feet. Okay, that was weird. Was there an
animal in the basement? She picked up her penlight and went down
into the dark basement. "Hello?" she called out, her eyes blinking
as she attempted to adjust to the darkness.
