"How many hours would it take for us to reach the surface?" I ask, while preparing my flames encircling our sides. These crimson orbs also serve us light and warm our bodies into an optimal state. On rare occasions, they can also inflict minor damage to enemies that are weak against fire but will not hurt any element, strong against my flames.
"About a long walk or two, I presume," Reji confesses while touching the blaze, thinking it would do something harmful to his shoulders. The orb perceives his movements and evades his poke while moving at his side as if it is alive.
"Do you control all these orbs?"
I firmly give him a nod while continuing to conjure more embers as possible to light our way in the darkness. This time, the newly summoned orbs surround Reiji and the others, linking them together as closest friends that anyone could ever imagine.
These spheres will never fade until I order them to do so or if I am unconscious, and even worse, killed.
