AR-QOSH

Simply a day after the meeting Ar-Qosh and Sermorph are leaving again, this time really moving out of the capital city, for the lava streams are getting too huge and it might flow into the capital and some other cities across the realms anytime.

Ar-Qosh was given two days to leave with his master before the lava streams flood the city. When he looked out of the windows again the lava streams were thin strips of lava no more -- it was huge, raging and the smoke was suffocating the capital already.

Ar-Qosh was just about to turn back from the window when he heard screams and shouts and fleeing people from the direction of the lava streams. He turned to the direction of the tidal wave, and there a colossal wave of lava made its way towards the capital. The tidal-lava were rare, but once it happened it would wreak havoc on the city. It easily broke the gates and walls and rushed in, and before Ar-Qosh's eyes men, women, even animals and houses were consumed by the dark reddish liquid.

"Master Sermorph!" Ar-Qosh rushed into his master's room where he was not meditating. Master Sermorph peered up at him, frowning, "What's wrong?"

"There is a tidal-lava which is killing many now, and the capital is in danger more than we could think. We must evacuate the capital, now!"

"What? Show me," Sermorph stood and followed Ar-Qosh to the window. The moment of chaos was over now, and what was left was pools of lava bubbling and burning on the ground, and the melted bodies of people, what remains of their mouths were opened widely, a final desperate plea for help.

Master Sermorph stood there for a long while and seemed to be thinking about something, then Ar-Qosh realised he was shuddering. He was fearful, about the deaths, and the future of Firerealm. For a moment he glanced up at the sky, the seven stars still glistened in the sky, but after all these chaos and droughts in the Waterrealm, he was starting to wonder if the stars were still keeping the balance of the realms.

"Leave," Master Sermorph suddenly said, and Ar-Qosh could see how he tried to cover his emotions in his speech, "Tell all the citizens to leave this place to the Outskirts of the realms, now. We do not want something like this to happen again."

Ar-Qosh nodded and left his master alone, staring outside. If they did not leave now, he knew, it would soon be too late.
