The Unraveling - It Burns

Well shit, Tarnish's throw was about as effective as a mosquito. The stick he'd throw started to burn immediately, disintegrating into ash. So clearly the thing was hot as fuck, which made him hesitant to try attacking directly. While he could cling and shred to larger prey thanks to his claws he wasn't keen on burning to a crisp. The worm twisted and fire burst from it. Tarnish swiftly scrambled behind a boulder, managing to avoid getting singed. His hunkered down in the shadow of the boulder, melting into the darkness as he pondered his next moving, watching the other wolves, making notes and letting them be the guinea pigs.

Suddenly the worm descended on one of the wolves and in a burst of flame and the smell of burning fur and flesh the wolf was gone as he descended into the pit. Well, double fuck. Out of the corner of his eye he saw his sister Siduri, race toward a boulder on the edge of the pit. Immediately he knew what she was trying to do. Racing from his hiding place he picked up as much speed as he could, slamming his body into the boulder. He felt it shift just slightly but they needed more force. Then one by one more wolves joined in.
