It took all of two seconds for Jiushu to retract into her space. It took just one more second for her to fall down and roll on the ground. She is able to put out the fire on her skin fast enough, but the pain assaulted both her hands and feet. Jiushu ran to the little pond in her space, fell in with a splat.
She fell face down, swallowing water, almost drowning due to her little mistake, as tension released in her body, sapping the strength out of her limbs. She splashed in knee deep water like a dying fish, only to scramble on to the wet mud like a tired lizard.
She coughed up water. Her skin has become red from the fire, but fortunately, she's exposed to the fire only for a little time. Her clothes are singed, she suffered very mild first degree burns. The worst of the damage is her eyelashes are burnt unevenly.
"Is there a fire angel that hates me above" Jiushu grumbled looking at the false sky.
She doesn't have the strength to get up and walk.
