The monster was fast, able to move at more than human speed, but Shade was moving at bullet speed and she easily caught him. She raced rings around him, dodging gobbets of fire that dribbled from his mouth, looking for vulnerabilities, for weaknesses, but he was to all intents and purposes a massive pile of walking magma. From twenty feet away it was like sticking your head into a pizza oven. The heat of his touch boiled the tarmac beneath his great reptilian feet.
