“AHHHHHH!” Shaman and Elysia were screaming as they were running away from a giant fiery bird that looked like a sparrow just outside of Ebonscale. Wolfy was also running along with them but due to lack of vocal cords he was not able to scream like Shaman and Elyisa.
“Come on girls, you can’t just keep running forever!” Himeko was currently mounted on top of the bird made of fire. Himeko then controlled the bird to send down a rain of fire balls directly at the group.
‘Shit.’ Shaman could see the oncoming fireballs that they have been suffering from in the last hour.
“Elysia, Wolfy, jump on.” Shaman quickly created a small sled out of her ice and started to create an ice trail for it to slide on. They all jumped on at the same time which gave it the force to start sliding down the ice trail that Shaman was conjuring up was being created as they continued forward.
Elysia was given the job to deflect the fireballs as Himeko still had full control over them and could direct them in any direction.
Elysia summoned her bow and began to prepare [Explosive arrows] with multi shot to stop the fireballs. 3 fireballs started to make their way toward their sled and Elysia quickly knelt down and prepared for the shot. Once the fireballs were about 50 meters away Elysia finally fired her shot colliding with all the fireballs causing them to explode.
“Let's see how you deal with this.” Himeko smirked and began to send over 10 fireballs at once towards them.
Elysia’s heart sank a little as she was unsure if she would be able to deal with it but she still had to try as Shaman is relying on her to keep their backs covered.
Elysia took a deep breath and instead of using her normal bow switched to a bow fully made of fire and conjured up the 10 arrows on it. Elysia opened her eyes and began to analyze where each ball was and began to fire her bow. With the little mana manipulation she had she directed the arrows towards the 10 balls.
This had taken a lot of energy since directing the arrows was not an easy task and took a considerable amount of mana to use.
Himeko was rather impressed with Elysia’s ability to manipulate her arrows as it is not something all mages can do.
“Shaman, I don't think I can keep going, I think I used too much mana on that last.” Elysia began to feel the fatigue and her head started to slightly spin.
Shaman quickly grabbed a hold of Elysia and put Elysia on her back. When Elysia went on Shaman’s back she started to fall unconscious and ended up falling asleep.
‘How can she sleep in this situation?’ Shaman shook her head as she had more concerning issues to take care of.
‘Looks we have to go on one foot, I can’t keep this up as I have already gone through a quarter of my mana.’ Shaman began to talk to Wolfy as she needed to make sure Elysia was safe whilst fighting off Himeko.
‘We can use my shadow skills but we need to find a way to bring Himeko down.’ Wolfy felt rather useless as his skill set was not good for this kind of confrontation.
‘Wolfy jump.’ Wolfy followed her instruction and then they found themselves on an ice ramp that went to the ground to ease them into running.
Himeko was not idle for much longer and began to fly down with her bird.
‘Damn if it wasn't for the fact that the bird was made of fire we would have had some shadows that we could work with’ Shaman was a little frustrated as Himeko was a good counter to the shadow element.
‘Well we just need to create some.’ Wolfy figured they could combine Shaman’s ice to take advantage of the light created from the fire.
‘We can indeed do that but how is that going to work against a bird of light.’ Shaman had thought of this as well but could not see a practical way to apply it.
‘We need to get ice above her so that the light from below can cast a shadow and that way we can get on her body since there are plenty of shadows there and we do not need to worry about how big the shadow is as long as it is there.’ Wolfy had also found that he is not confined by the size of the shadow if he is already in it, just as long as it is there he can move freely within it.
Shaman fell into thought as Wolfy’s plan was plausible and if they were able to get on Himeko they would finally be able to knock her off it which was the objective of this session.

Himeko at this point finally was able to catch up and was right behind the running Wolfy and Shaman.
“Hey there, are you done planning and ready to attack?” Himeko had a massive grin as she started to create a small sword out of fire.
Himeko swung down causing an explosion with the ice on the floor forcing Shaman and Wolfy to begin their plan.
Shaman continued her ice platform and then began to make a loop out of it and expanded it out to create a roof of sorts.
Himeko halted her bird and began to float close to the ground.
‘I wonder what they are planning.’ Himeko wanted to allow them to follow through with their plan to see what they would do.
With the ice roof now covering Himeko, Shaman made small walls along the roof to create shadows on the roof and to her surprise it was rather effective.
Shaman and Wolfy then proceed to use [Shadow walk] which was able to throw Himeko off as she saw them disappear but once they were gone it was like they were never there.
‘That is one scary ability, if it wasn’t for the fact that I knew they were in the shadows I would be worried.’ Himeko still was getting over the fact that Wolfy was a Shadow moon wolfy as his potential is insane.
‘Anyway I should try to mess up their plan a little and see how they do when it fails.’ Himeko then proceeded to use her fire sword and destroyed the ice roof they were on. The ice shattered and pieces of ice fell but Shaman and Wolfy were still not brought out of the shadows.
In the distance Elysia could be seen coming out of the shadows and Himeko ignored her as she knew she was out of commission.
Himeko trying to pull them out stabbed her fire sword in the ground through her bird and due to being out of fire it was able to extend. The ground then began to rumble till eventually the ground started to crack and a bright orange light started to shine through.
Fire pillars rose from the ground all around Himeko for at least 5 seconds till they finally died down. But yet again no results were shown till she realized that they would have used Elysia’s body to hide.
Himeko quickly flew to Elysia and lifted her up with non lethal fire and lit up any area as a way to drown out any shadows.
‘Still nothing where could they be?’ Himeko began to get more confused and was trying her hardest to figure out where they were, however her question was answered when she felt something around her stomach.
Ice started to form and incase her but was quickly melted by Himeko. However this was a distraction as Shaman started to pop out of Himeko's back. Shaman could be seen holding a ball of wind and shot it towards her bird. Wolfy on the other hand came from Himeko’s head and jumped in front of Himeko. He used his [Shadow claw] and targeted it towards the bird's head.
The ball of wind hit the bird and caused a reaction as Shaman had made it a pure pall of oxygen. This aggravated the flames causing a small explosion to occur at Himeko’s feet.
‘YES!’ Shaman yelled mental and used her wind to push her way to avoid the blast.
Wolfy was not so successful as Himeko used her palm and hit Wolfy in the side causing him to fly out towards where Elysia was.
Himeko now had to deal with the explosion that was occurring but there was a crucial mistake made by Shaman that she failed to realize. The fire was still in her control so she was able to use the exploding portion of the bird and direct it towards Shaman.
“Shit.” Shaman saw Himeko taking control over the explosion and sending the flames in her direction.
‘Let's hope this works.’ Shaman wanted to use a skill that she had not been able to use and due to her being a higher tier she was willing to try it and hope that it will help her get past the on coming fire.
