The dark lion had upped his game since the last time the two creatures of fire had faced off and Kendall could tell. However, ever since he'd become the Fire Phoenix, there was hardly any flame that fazed him now, "Your flames look prettier," he mocked the lion.
"Well, I'll have you know that they are much hotter than the ice you used against me the last time we fought," the beast roared.
"I don't doubt it, but I wasn't sitting still either during this month. You will be quite surprised," he replied, launching into an attack. Right as he was about to strike the beast that came at him with a fist full of white-hot flame, the hottest he'd ever managed to make it since becoming the Fire phoenix, everything went still, including him, but his mind continued to function as normal.
