As the wall of water approached Kadaj released the ball of fire.  The ground beneath him turned molten from the intense heat as the first bit of water arrived causing it to instantly evaporate into a cloud of steam.  However, the water kept coming.  So much water, way more than the young Ifrit had been expecting.  It was enough to kill him if he didn't act quickly, the single ball of fire he had prepared wasn't enough for the magnitude of the onslaught.  If one could manage to see through the wall of steam now being propelled out, and up what they would catch in their gaze would be a fire swirling around Kadaj as if he was caught in a fire plume.<br/><br/>The intense heat seared at the underbelly of the dragon who despite having one wing injured could be heard taking flight away from the now outrageous situation.  His flight was awkward however, more leaping into the air sideways than flying, and subsequently almost knocking down Kadaj in the process with one of his legs.<br/><br/>He wasn't sure where the dragon had gone to, but when the onslaught of water finally subsided Kadaj was left standing in a pool of molten earth hardened around the edges from the water having cooled it.  A thick steam surrounded everything like a fog.  It was useless to try and find his bearings, instead he only rested thankful to be alive.  Lola had really gone overboard this round.  Panting, Kadaj took a knee in the molten pool, letting the heat help him recover from the massive amount of magic he had just been forced to use.
