Standing at the edge, he looked up at the sky to experience the great ball of fire before the freezing maw ended it. He closed his eyes, breathed deeply, and soared through the air. It was a short flight, as he landed in the pool with a splash, the summer heat doing nothing to stop the water shocking his system.
