"Wei Ying!" I scream.

I saw the ball of fire. I see the fire wrapping around this world. I saw what had happened. My eyes widen and a few tears fall from my face. Wei Ying! My heart was pounding. My thoughts were racing.

"Slow down boy." He tells me.

"Slow down, slow down?" I ask.

"You are rushing. Take your time." He says.

"We don't have time." I say.

He points at the sky with his cane. I see clouds forming. 

"Patience my boy, the rain will come. A big rainstorm is almost upon us." He smiles. 

<~> <~> <~>

I wake up slowly. At first, I think I'm dead. It's all smoke around me. It's all darkness. I realize I'm not dead. I wince as I shake off the ash covering me. I sit up. I realize my hands were... full. I feel my face. It doesn't feel like air. I feel my hair. It's black. I cough up ash. My clothes were burned. My skin burned. 

I look up and I see clouds forming. The rain, there must still be hope. I turn and see the creature assuming a human form. Legs move over to me. Its arms lay in the ground. Its clothes were made of lava and smoke. I wince as I try to get up. I turn and feel my leg. Oh... yeah, it's problematic. 

"Foolish child. To think you can stop the fire." It says.

"You stopped wind. I congratulate you." I say.

He looks down at me.

"Don't mention it." It says.

He grabs my neck. It burns. I can feel it scorching my neck. I grab his arm but I couldn't touch ti for long.

"Do it." I say.

"You... you don't care if you die?" It asks.

"No. No one cares if I'm alive so why should I?" I cough up.
