Far in the distance, Satou saw mountains begin to glow red from within. Volcanus was awakening volcanoes—multiple volcanoes, all at once.
The volcanoes erupted simultaneously, massive pillars of lava shooting thousands of feet into the air. But the lava didn't fall randomly. Instead, it flowed in perfectly controlled streams through channels that were forming in the earth, all converging on the location where they stood.
Azshara raised her hands, and water began rising from the ground—not normal water, but deep ocean water pulled from miles below the surface. She shaped it into a massive sphere hundreds of feet across, then began manipulating it with casual gestures that belied the incredible power required.
The water collided with Volcanus's approaching lava streams. Steam exploded upward in tremendous clouds, but Azshara controlled it all, directing the steam and cooling the lava at precise points.
