"Wait…" uttered Kasumi as she noticed something amiss within the great beacon in front of her. "Did you hear that?"
Natsuko and Kazuma carried on with their combination of water and fire spells in a valiant effort to subdue the brightness of the massive flames before them but were momentarily taken aback with the priestess' question.
"Kasumi, what do you mean?" asked the young sorcerer while casting another wave of magical rainshower to cool his classmate's magma spells. "I'm not aware of what you're saying. What are you hearing?"
Kasumi took another step forward towards the beacon with some concern on her face. "It's like the wails of a large animal. Whatever the sounds are coming from, it appears to be in great pain."
"I don't seem to hear anything, Kasumi-chan," stated Natsuko in confusion before she dropped another gigantic and cooled magma roof to momentarily dampen the blaze in front of them. "Or, maybe because we're just too focused on casting spells."
