The beast that had been heading for them quickly was nearly upon them when it approached the flames. It redirected itself quickly enough, feeling the heat of the burning soil, only seconds away from being roasted itself. The giant worm burst out of the ground, roaring, and quickly dove back in, away from danger. The smaller worm, not so keen on giving up, picked up its speed and also burst forth from the ground, over the pit of fire, heading right for Maria in the trees. The larger one began stalking Azazel, feeling him walking away, thinking him easy prey, soon erupting form the ground again. It's mouth opened wide to reveal several other mouths, the tongues of this creature seeming to be creatures of their own, and the beast attempted to swallow him whole.
