Lava Hammer

“You’re right. So allow me to interrupt,” I heard a voice say and the ground beneath my father’s feet abruptly turned to lava. I saw him grimace and Lunged forward with all my speed—but even though there was only a few meters between us, he lifted his hammer with his mostly transformed arm and swung it hard enough to smash me through a house. I didn’t care and was back on my feet in a fraction of a second, rushing towards him again—

“Stop, Jaune,” My mother said, rising to her feet only a bit shakily. Even so, I stopped.

“Isabelle,” Conquest said, smiling at her and seeming unbothered by the lava now that the initial surprise had faded. “My beautiful wife. We were just talking about you.”
