A strange crackling noise can be heard off to Zane's left, just before the holes in the kiln can be heard. The ash storm stops, with the kiln remaining up. However, ash can be seen flowing back toward the wall, quickly repairing the holes. Then, blocking Zane's view, an ashen figure similar to JJ's rises, wrapped in flame. Followed by two at its sides. Then another two. And another two. Eventually, Zane was surrounded by at least 40 these ashen figures. If Zane was to check for JJ's aura, he would find it within all of the figures within the circle. He was hiding among these fakes, and giving each of them a little bit of flame in order to conceal himself. Some were obviously fake, crude and not even breathing. Others were much more lifelike, narrowing down the search to nearly 20% of what gathered. They all began to charge Zane, some leaping with their wings of flame to strike from above; others sticking to the ground and attack lower. All of them gunning for Zane. However, the ones jumping at him appeared to be slightly faster.
