Chapter 62 Snow Can Hurt
Lucas\'s feet felt numb when he saw the snow falling right in front of them, an icy memory of cold went like shivers through his skin.
"Everyone, stay back!" Kalaini shouted while slightly pushing Xina to the side.
A low heavy noise was continuing reverberating, it sounded like thunder that was making a carpet of whiteness fall right before them.
"What are we going to do now?" Asked Kali.
"Just don\'t panic!" Haya lifted his hands a little.
Kali couldn\'t breathe, everything was moving too quickly around her, as she inhaled, she could smell the salt of sweat slowly covering her face. She silently screamed for someone to explain to her what was happening right now.
The mountains that were just covered in grass and little mud all of a sudden appeared to have snow again, the noise was coming from not that far too, \'this was planned!\' Realised Lucas when trying to swallow his saliva down his throat.
Judging by the way the three were handling this situation, this was also new and unexpected to them.
This snow attack appeared from the clear sky, without even a single snowflake falling down, \'the place was expecting us to come here,\' he bit his lower lip and looked at Kali.
Lucas needed a good strategy to avoid being buried by the snow and to find out what that noise was about, \'if we had any power that could use fire, we could just melt the snow away...\' Lucas turned to Haya, "Haya, do we have any guns or spirits that can breathe fire?"
Haya glanced at Kali who was in her human form, "how big of a power?" He stepped forward to avoid another amount of snow.
The whiteness was starting to trap and capture them inside in a circle, there was no way out in the front, back and to sides. The snow was slowly becoming more fluffy and pulling them closer to each other made their movements harder, "just calm down!" Shouted Haya thinking of a solution.
\'If we get closer to each other and all of us would get buried together, our body heat should still make the snow melt, but there\'s no guarantee of that working,\'
"When this avalanche comes to a stop, it will immediately freeze to solid and will become almost like concrete!" Lucas raised his voice while inhaling more air.
His lungs were filled with oxygen, forcing them to feel heavier with every breath he took, \'if we all gonna be caught in this snow, no one will be able to move at all, we need fire!\' Lucas\'s leg begin to shake as he saw Kali biting her nails, \'if only she was in her form right now.\' A quick thought went through his head.
"No, what am I thinking!" He slapped his head with both of his hands when whispering, "Haya, do you know anything we could use as fire right now?" He pointed a question and bumbed to Xina\'s back.
They were running out of space, and soon no one will be able to move even their fingers, "spirit of fire, show up!" Haya summoned his little friend.
The little creature looked like a flame of fire, but with two eyes and a little mouth. It was about twelve centimetres long and didn\'t have a stable form. With every movement, it was changing its colour from neon green to bright red, from dark yellow to light blue.
The shape was changing too, like a fire you see when u turn on the lighter, "what is this?" Lucas furrowed his eyebrows.
He didn\'t expect this little fire spirit to be this cute, it surprised him.
While Kali was adoring this creature with her sparkling eyes, Lucas was thinking of how Haya was going to use this small spirit in a trapped place like this without getting burnt.
"Haya, I don\'t know what you\'re thinking, but it\'s about time you do something with it!" Lucas touched Kali\'s back.
They were fully trapped in snow, with no way out.
It would take just a matter of seconds while it starts crumbling and crushing them from the inside, no one had an idea how much more it will fall from the sky.
"Spirit of fire, breathe." Haya\'s eyes were closed when he spoke to his little friend.
This small thing inhaled some air with its small and tiny lips and held it in, and when it finally let it out, the amount of fire coming from its body was five times its size.
The blazing inferno was melting the icy snow in front of them, making a small path of a way out from this scrambled place.
All of them were running out of air, and severe oxygen deprivation could have caused life-threatening problems that could include coma.
All of them were aware of this, but in panic mode, not everyone could think clearly. If it wasn\'t only freezing to death, the lack of fresh air could\'ve caused brain death to every single one of them.
Haya\'s spirit was burning the snow as if it meant nothing to it, they were finally able to move.
The bright flame colour shadowed their view, turning the space a little darker, "ouch!" Kali moved her arm while vanishing fire sparkles landed on her skin.
"Be careful, it could really hurt!" Spoke Haya while looking back at them through his shoulder.
The path seemed to become easier to walk, the burning fire was forcing the snow to vanish in front of their eyes.
Everyone\'s eyes were sparkling, with a hope that they will be able to escape from this horrible situation they were in right now, \'this could work!" Lucas thought when trying to reach Kali\'s hand to hold.
"Breathe slowly," he whispered to her seeing her pale face running out of breath.
This space felt crowded even with a small path that was made by the spirit, it still was hard to walk for everyone all together, then suddenly the spirit stopped breathing fire from its mouth.
It looked exhausted and tired, "what happened?" Xina asked Haya.
"He\'s out of mana!"
Kali, Xina, Haya and Kalaini were all wandering their eyes, looking for another exit they couldn\'t think of clearly.
The snowflakes kept falling and when another noise cracked somewhere, one more pile of snow fell down from the sky blocking the main exit that the spirit created for them.
"We\'re trapped, there\'s no way out of here!"
