A Distant Relative...

It took Taira all of three seconds to pinpoint exactly where the projectile originated from.

He felt this was a bit slow if he was being honest, but just told himself that he was adjusting to new surroundings and would do better next time.

Snapping his fingers, he gathered the winds around him and created a large funnel in the shape of a tornado.

A small ball of flame sparked to life above one of his tails, and he gingerly passed it towards the wind.

Somehow, the small bundle of flame wasn't blown out, and instead used the winds as fuel to grow larger and larger with significantly less energy expenditure on Taira's part.

With a single wave of his hand, the tornado touched down on the ground right where Taira had pinpointed the attack.

As soon as it fell on top of the camp, several screams filled the forest.
