We reached the middle of the room, hovering between the lava that was still rising and the ceiling of nails that began to lower down towards us.
"Uh, GUYS? Aren't they supposed to stop?" Blue Hair asked.
"Ya. They should, but they don't look like they are," Purple Hair chimed in.
Logan and I exchanged looks and immediately moved to opposite ends of our little bubble.
"What are you two doing?" Maximus asked, his voice sounding strained.
I noticed the beads of sweat already forming on his forehead and I had to remind myself not to bite my lip out of nerves.
"Purple and Blue! Help Maxi maintain the bubble," I ordered.
Purple and Blue stared at one another before looking back at me in confusion.
"Purple?"
"Blue?"
"Maxi? Who the fuck you calling Maxi?" Maximus huffed.
I growled, glaring at the three of them.
"JUST DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD!" I snarled, my irritation at its peak.
We didn’t have time for this.
They shut up, immediately going to do as I instructed. I looked back to Logan who nodded at me.
Nixon looked between the two of us and yawned.
"So... do I just stay here and look pretty for all of you?" he questioned.
I shook my head.
"No. I need you there. You'll understand when we start," I assured, wanting him to stay in the middle but move forward to the bubble so that he, Logan, and myself would create a triangle shape.
He shrugged, twirling his wand in his fingers.
"Alright, Boss." He yawned again, looking unconcerned and moved up to the spot I indicated with my finger.
I nodded, gesturing with my wand to Nixon and with my left hand at Logan.
"Nixon, point your wand to Logan and Logan, point your wand to me. We need to make a triangle shield outside of the bubble. I'll then use magic to solidify it before the nails reach us," I instructed.
"Why are you making a triangle shield when we have a bubble?" Blue Hair asked.
"Because a bubble can't survive those sharp pointy nails approaching us, Kage," Purple acknowledged.
Kage blinked, looking back up at the needles that were getting closer and closer.
"Good observation, Zane,” he admitted.
Maximus rolled his eyes, panting as he continued to try and hold the bubble spell.
"Would you two focus?! I'm dying here and I believe Jinn over there was the one who figured that shit out before your 'observation’. Jinn, hurry the fuck up!"
Zane and Kage moved to stand on either side of Maximus, Zane on his left and Kage on his right. They pointed their wands up and magic circled beneath them while they shot out a stream of magic that hit both sides of the bubble and began making their own barriers around it.
