There was a moment she thought she had made it. That she could have lost the stupid fox in the clouds by going too high and too fast for him to follow. If she could make it to the clouds, she could go anywhere. However he found her so quickly, which she was fairly certain was due to the keen senses from his animal counterpart, hopefully wouldn't help him with her going into the upper winds. It would scatter her scent - the logical way he'd tracked her so quickly - wide enough it would be hard to pinpoint where it was truly coming from.

[color=crimson][i]Fuck. How did he get in front of me?[/i][/color] Kali only had the time to think that much before he shot a static shock at her. She was caught too off-guard to actually ignite hot enough to dissipate the static. Instead she took the full force of the hit square in her chest. The fire around her went out, and she forgot how to even breathe for a second. 

Without the fire, and with momentary shock of the electricity to her system, the fire mage fell back toward the forest below. Body slamming into branches, only to shatter them and continue falling, she landed in a crumbled heap, once again shorted of breath from the impact. It would be a few moments of regaining her bearings on the fact her heart was beating, and struggling to remember how to breathe involuntarily. A few moments the Firebird was fully vulnerable.
