Leaving the Valley

Without giving them any time to think, the Dragon Butterfly descended into the hole. 

"Oi! It's time to fulfill your end of the deal!" Mira yelled, seeing how her idea went down the drain. 

"Like I have a choice!" Yanira shouted back, gathering as much fire as she could muster. 'Volcanic Eruption!'

A pillar of fire burst up from the floor to the sky, followed by a painful screech from the beast. 

While it was distracted, Yanira channeled fire into her odachi and shot into the air. "Die, you damn beast!"

Her sword cut cleanly through one of its wings. She was a bit surprised at how strong she was after her breakthrough, but could only put that aside for now.

Suddenly, all the Qi in the surrounding area was sucked into the pillar of fire before Dragon Butterfly opened its mouth and released a screeching roar, sending waves of Qi across the valley.
