The ground shook as we watched tons of toxic gases enter the atmosphere. The fighting died down after the volcano erupted. The dragons scattered in all directions, trying to avoid the poisonous clouds forming quickly.
"I have never seen anything like this since the Yellow River Flood of 1887," Merlin's face showed genuine fear.
"What do we do now?" Ethan said.
The other kingdom leaders were closing in. Thankfully, everyone seemed accounted for, even though some were visibly hurt.
"What the hell happened?" Alexandria coughed.
"We managed to stop Elijah, but we were too late to stop the eruption," I said.
"There has to be something we can do? Jeff and Renna, you said you were taught emergency maneuvers in this situation," Vincent said.
"But it was more of a way to stop it from erupting, and it won't work on an eruption of this magnitude," Renna explained.
"Merlin? Any ideas?" Alex said. "Is there something you can do?"
"Even though I am the most powerful wizard on earth, I'm not equipped to stop tons of energy spewing from the ground. Nature is something that even I can't fight against.
Energy? I examined the scene. Lava was pouring out, and soon, we would have to retreat to a safer distance. The sky was beginning to darken due to all the soot and ash. But it was all because of massive amounts of energy in the ground. "I know what you're thinking, and I don't like it," Dahlia said.
"But will it work?" I asked her.
I could hear Dahlia sigh in my head, but she didn't answer. "Dahlia?"
"Yes, it might work, but it will come with a price," Dahlia sniffed.
"We will worry about that later," I said to Dahlia. Merlin, this eruption, can it be considered a form of energy? Is that what you said?"
"That's one way to think about it, yes," Merlin nodded.
"Renna, Jeffery, can you brainstorm with me for a second?" I quickly discussed my plan to absorb the power of Yellowstone to stop the eruption with them.
"Alyssa, there's no gurarantee it will work. Are you sure you want to do this?" Renna said.
"We have to try. Everyone listen up! We all need to work together! You all need to get the following instructions to your kingdoms. Ice and Water dragons, you need to cool down the ground as much as possible and keep the lava contained. We have the help of the earth dragons, who can clear the forest around and stop the fires from spreading. Wind Dragons are the fastest fliers; you guys have to try to blow the smoke to the middle of the eruption, making it the only possible way upwards, all the way through the atmosphere. Lightning dragons, you need to fly close to them and absorb the lightning to protect the other dragons. Everyone else needs to fly close to the smoke, and it will create a vortex that will help keep the smoke contained," I said to the leaders of the kingdoms.
"But the eruption could go on for months; it's not like we can contain it for that long," Alexandria said.
"I'm not expecting you to contain it for that long, Alex," I smiled.
"I know that smile; what are you thinking?" Vincent asked as he grinned.
"It's Merlin said; the eruption is nothing but energy," I gave him a sad look.
"I don't get what you're saying," Vincent took a few seconds on what I said, but he quickly figured it out. "NO, have you lost your damn mind!?"
"Wait, what are you talking about?" Alexandria said.
