Summoning Circles, Joined Stars

-Yunlan-

"Da Qing, we need a shorter route! Can you make one?" Zhao yell as they run after the Earth Prince, trying to avoid as many bats as possible.

"It will take too much time to remake everything to make it shorter! I am already guiding you all to the shortest route!" Qing yelled back and Zhao gave Wei a glance. He was quite worry for his Prince, because Furies were fire masters too, so he could not exactly manipulate their fire at will, like he would with any other kind of fire.

He had expected to fight furies in open lands, one at a time in which they could help him defeat them. Furies were known to be territorial, so it was actually easier to avoid them with one every few miles, but in a close space, the Furies blasting fire was going to be a problem. Da Qing could keep the cave for collapsing, but it will also drain him to maintain the caves in one piece.

"Yunlan... I think there are three heading to the entrance and they are moving fast." Shen said, firing a set of flames arrows to a few coming bats.

"Ah, damn it!" Zhao cursed, shooting ice shard ahead in all directions, hitting a few others. Three was a very bad number for them right now, because one Fury was hard enough to defeat, let alone two more with the extra addition to who knows how many more damn bats! Maybe he should flood the caves in full, but a Fury's fire was not easily extinguish even by water.

"So what's the plan now?" Lin asked manipulating the air, to get the flying bats off balance.

"Yunlan, I can use all seven of my Clan flames." Hearing Wei said that make his heart race even faster in dread, because just like with the Sage Clan and their sword shield, only the strongest fire users could go beyond the normal red orange fire and create seven powerful different ones. 

Blue (repelling flame), Green (healing flame), Black (raging, flame), Purple (shielding flame), White and Yellow combined (summoning flames), Silver (devouring of flames) and the Rainbow (raining flames of destruction). He honestly didn't knew Shen could use that one too. All those flames require intense training since childhood and even Lord Shen, head of the Fire Clan said he was unable to produce the rainbow flames, even when he got older and more experienced. Most of them were actually, very hard to maintain, for which allowing Shen to use them now was nothing less than suicide.

"No, you will not use your remaining five now, I forbid you." Zhao said, stopping in time to avoid a ground bat that jumped his way out of nowhere. Of course, Shen Wei stabbed the thing in the neck before it could try attack Yunlan again.

"But we need to move faster in other to confront the Furies outside the caves." Shen protested.

"I will think in another way. Seriously Shen Wei, stop wanting to risk your life like that, you promise me not to do another suicidal stunt like last time."

"Zhao Yunlan, he will need to use some of them with the Furies... that's inevitable now." Chu said, creating a web of treads to block a fissure in the rocks from where bats were suddenly jumping at them.

"Later, yes, but not right now. We are still too far from the exit and we have three Furies to defeat. He needs to conserve his energy."

"Then what about your star magic? It can create dimensions... so what about a portal?" Chu asked, as he create a barrier of his strongest threads for the sudden strategically halt. 

"Wait, no. Yunlan is not a full Oracle, not properly trained... he won't be able to create dimensions. The goddess stone already have one, so he is not allow to use star magic either. It will drain him completely." Shen Wei demanded.

"Actually, I can try create a summoning circle closer to the entrance, but I will need Da Qing for it and it will weak us both afterwards." Zhu said and all of them looked at her.
