Jack vs Heart (3/3)

There was one last obstacle awaiting them, one that already had the little wolf whimpering. 

The flaming heart seemed to enter a defensive more. 

There was no downtime anymore. It was simply volley after volley, one more every time it beat. 

— THUMP! THUMP! — 

— THUMP! THUMP! — 

— THUMP! THUMP! — 

Lots of fire was heading their way, only to die in front of them. The heart was protecting its domain with a wall of fire, one that never went down. 

"Woo?!" (Shock!) 

What was that?! How were they supposed to reach the other side?! This was impossible! It looked at its master and gave a low woo of disappointment. They wouldn't be able to beat the bully heart. 

"Hehe, are you feeling down?" Jack rubbed the little fellow's head with affection. "Observe carefully, what do you see?" 

"Woo?" (Puzzled.) 

Fire, fire, more fire! That's all there was! Was its master planning to head in there?! It was suicide!
