บท 41: Emerald Flames

Nix jumped from the third level of his houseboat to the dock, a quick roll and he was back on his feet running toward Shae's Lair. The two Aquarions were much more tentative since they were water creatures and the Lair had become a glowing mass of molten rock.

His aura lit up without him willing it to, Nix used the dozen tentacles spreading out of his body to stab into the rock and pull himself upward. He could tell something was wrong. He ran toward the back room of Shae's lair, the rock splashing under his feet like spring water. He skidded to a stop when he saw her.

Shae was arching her back in pain, there were three different color flames coming from her, yellow, red and dark blue. Her red flaming hair hung toward the ground, her teeth gritted with determination. "Nix! Only the red flames sustain elemental metamorphosis."

He sensed the absolute anguish in her voice, he had felt such pain before. "Don't worry, I will help."
