Riding on the leaf was quite the surprising experience. It was remarkably smooth yet she had no desire to look over the edge. Ria could feel it in her chest how fast they were going, and it was certainly a lot faster than she felt a human really should travel. Maybe they'd get a ride back the normal way instead of speeding through the sky with naught but their magic to protect from a fall. To say her thoughts were preoccupied by the travel conditions and left her oblivious to anyone around her was an understatement. Especially when she realized just how close Cloven was sitting to her only when they were thrown by the leaves.

She didn't think twice about the decent, instead reflexively casting "[color=Aqua]Water Make Cushion[/color]" as she fell toward the ground. Water swirled up to shape into a dramatically over-sized pillow and helped soften the impact to let her land delicately - though not entirely caring of the fact she was in a skirt and hadn't bothered covering up the fact that wind didn't work with gravity in a fall. 

Smoldering buildings, bits still on fire, the dragon readying to roar. She stood still and swept her surroundings, trying to take everything in at once. There was way too much to process. [color=Aqua][i]Just like home.[/i][/color] Her pulse quickened but it felt like a lump of ice filled her chest. Her eyes widened as she fought to keep her breathing normal. [i][color=Aqua]You're stronger than last time. You can do this. You have more control than last time. You can do this.[/color][/i] She told herself enough lies for other things, and ended up believing them. Theoretically, this lie should work too, right?

Gwen yelled something, taking her attention back to the chaos before her. "[color=Aqua]Right.[/color]" She nodded. Fires could go out later. The important thing right now was making sure it couldn't cause any further damage. Especially when it was blowing more fire.

Ria ran and slid on her feet to stop behind Asher's cover. The way she stopped had her feet braced perfectly for her spell. Her eyes narrowed as she scowled at the huge beast. "[color=Aqua]Cyclone![/color]" Thrusting her hands out together, a torrent of water shot forth - spiraling larger and larger the further away from her hands it got - to engulf the flames being shot at them and hopefully put them out. If this worked, she knew what she'd be doing from this point out.
