Glace had to grab Luigi's wrist to keep him from plunging his foot into the smoldering lava that greeted them only a few feet in. His yelp of shock was noticed by Blitz, who turned around on the lava and stared at them. "Is… something… wrong…?" he questioned, sounding as if he doubted he should even ask.
"Well, from my experience as an honest plumber brother, I would duly note that I have never been able to walk on lava," Luigi simply stated. "Could you please help us with that?"
"Oh! I… Uh…" Blitz tapped his index finger points together. "I… don't… know how." Howwww wonderful, Luigi thought. "I might have a book on that in the castle library. It's not that far away, so maybe I could just…" Seeing the other two nod simultaneously, he turned around and went bolting across the lava.
Unsure of what to do next, Luigi and Glace flopped down next to a pole with the kingdom emblem on it and waited. Almost instantly, Glace hugged her knees and started shaking. "Are you okay?" he asked, carefully touching her shoulder. She gasped and glanced over at him. "Oh, I'm okay. Just a little scared." She placed her chin on her knees. "Everything is so different… It's hot and everything looks weird and I just don't feel right here."
That comment caused Luigi to notice the beads of sweat dripping down his and Glace's heads. It feels like Bowser's castle here, he thought. "It is pretty uncomfortable, huh? You know, though, you won't ever find it comfortable if you don't expose yourself to it." Glace turned her head and raised an eyebrow. "I used to be terrified of even going underwater, but I've gotten myself used to it. Now I can stay under for several minutes without panicking. You just got to get yourself used to it." "…You sound like my dad," Glace muttered.
Luigi blushed and buried his face in his hands. "Sorry." "No, no, it's okay! That's still pretty sound advice." She stretched her legs out and relaxed. "This heat… is actually kind of nice."
Blitz finally returned carrying a huge book in his arms. "Sorry that took so long; everyone kept asking too many questions." He knelt down at Luigi's feet and opened the book to a random page. "Okay… focus…" he muttered to himself while carefully aiming his open palms at Luigi's feet and mouthing whatever the page said. A fiery blast shot out from his palms suddenly, hitting Luigi's feet.
"Ahh!" he yelped, retracting them. "Hot, hot, hot!" "A-Are you okay?!" Blitz gasped. "D-Did I do it wrong?! Ugh…" "No, no, no, it's okay! It stopped burning!" He let go of his feet and examined them. After some awkward silence, Blitz piped up. "Maybe you should… test…" Swallowing the lump forming in his throat, Luigi got up and inched over to the lava. Welp… Let's-a go… Carefully, he hovered his foot over the lava, swallowed his fear, and put it down on the smoldering stuff. He gasped.
