"Woah! The curse is gone!"
"For real! I can think now!"
"HAHAHA! PRAISE THE FIRE!"
"FOR THE FIRE!"
As the feathered arsonists began to wake up Elian turned to Bianca and pulled out a core that looked like an oversized orange. He handed it to her. But as she could not hold objects without mana, she used water to grab it instead.
"Bianca, bring back Burny. Have him deal with the Swallows."
"Okay," with a wave of Bianca's hand the air around the core turned solid.
She locked the core in a cage of ice, bored a small hole, and created a vacuum inside. Within seconds the air inside the prison turned pure. She then had one of her Ice VII mirrors float and focus the light of the sun inside the ice cage.
And a second later.
The purified air ignited, and in seconds, the pressure ruptured the core's shell in a flash of fire. Along with the fire was a blaze that engulfed everything within a meter of the core. When the smoke dissipated, a Flame Swallow emerged and stretched its wings.
