Wind’s wings had already caught flame when Jack tried to cool them off, but the air elemental acted as if this didn’t hurt him at all. flying only fanned the flames, but he would be vulnerable if he stood on the raft. He’d sink it and be unable to fly them out of there. “Jack, we can’t fight him.” He coughed, tugging on Jack’s hood, trying to urge him onto his back.

“We need to go. Now. Before he attacks-“

Too late, the phoenix was above them now, wings spread wide as it’s beak opened and flames shot out towards them. Fire never really was good at making friends, considering he barbecued everything he touched.

Jack held out an arm, forming an ice shield of some sort as an attempt to try and protect the two of them one last time. He figured it would just melt under the flames but it was still worth a try. But right before the fire elemental’s flames hit them, Jack’s ice shield transformed into a water shield, putting out the Phoenix’s flames instantly. He didn’t know how it happened, but he decided that he shouldn’t waste any more time and hopped on Wind when he found the chance.
