Chief looked around. Great, there was almost nothing to do for him, he had no magic to fight with, but he couldn't dare leave. He scanned around, the only pony not by the lake was now Jewel. He watched her waiting for her to do something, deep inside wincing to himself from the painful burns on his body that was sporting the charred look from both fires.

Snow frowned as the water seemed to do nothing to the dancing flames. Dammit, it is magical fire. Why is nothing ever easy? He cantered forward a few steps, until he could feel the heat of the flames on his coat. The only way to fight magic was to use magic, but fighting a quickly-spreading fire of this size would take considerable power.
Snow planted his hooves, closed his eyes, and began murmuring a spell. A breeze briefly lifted his mane back from his head, and then stopped. His magic surrounded the nearest flames and suffed them out with a shower of displaced scorched dirt and burned leaves.

There was a small trace of a smile on Chiefs face something he haden't done in awhile.
Well atleast I know me and whoever esle here won't be devored from the flame. Even if I'm scorched! He looked down at his hoofs as black as night. He opened his mouth to say something but didn't.

Stellaluna watched the magical battle of pony vs nature before her, ignoring her burns. She found it to be very exciting, but also made her very embarassed to be a mere earth pony with no magical powers whatsoever. Judging by how this was going, she knew they'd be there for awhile and her burns needed cooling. She walked into the cool, refreshing water of the lake and watched from there. Here burns felt better, but she still felt obligated to help somehow.

Chief looked out of the corner of his eye watching Stellaluna watch the battle againest the fire. As she thought of cooling her burns he nodded. "Thats a good idea." he walked behind her and came to the shores. "May I join you?" He said hoping she wouldn't deniy him the privlige of coming into the lake too. He was almost completely covered in soot and charred fur making him appear as if he had been a black stallion all his life. He had tried to put out two fires, his burns were almost all second or third degree, mostly they were on his achy hoofs, and where frequent on his body and luckliy there weren't many on his face. He looked tired.

Snow was breathing raggedly as his magic continued to consume the fire. His magic was strong, but he was battling strong magic. He had not been in a magical duel in some time; his skills were rusty, and the fire was large. He had to keep up with it, or it would spread beyond his ability to contain it.
He noted the ponies going to bathe in the lake and nodded slightly. Good idea...it would help soothe their burns. If need be he could heal them after the fire was out, but the cool water would help keep the pain away.
Slowly his magic consumed the fire, creeping forward far too slowly, or so it seemed to Winter Snow. But the flames eating up his precious forest were disappearing, that was the important thing.

Jewel stood on a small hill a short distance from the fire. She could still feel the heat burning her eyes, and was shaking from the terror of it all. Her body swayed slightly, trying her best to keep her balance. Her ribs ached.. it felt like someone had kicked her back into consciousness. Even someone who hardly ever materialized. Staggering with pain and exhaustion, Jewel made her way slowly to the small group of ponies. She held her head as high as she could manage, and put on her best facade of confidence. Now was not a time to be weak.. or at least to seem so.
"Is everyone alright?" Jewel asked the group after clearing her throat. She seemed perfectly calm, but her legs were shaking violently, as were scorched wingtips.

"Are YOU ok? You were the one asleep under a flaming tree..." Chief responed with a small smile, not to embarass Jewel but to show he was ok, and that he was curious if she was. He looked around. He looked around to the others. "Are you guys ok too?"

Jewel looked at Chief in a tired but serious manner, "Someone tried to kill me, and I dont even remember falling 'asleep' under that Rainbow-d**ned tree," Jewel almost spat, her voice cracking as she struggled to keep her composure. She was angry. Not at Chief, or anyone imparticular, just upset and disraught. "If that counts as 'ok,' then I'm perfectly fine."
Her eyes showed that she didn't mean any real offense, but wasn't feeling good about the situation at all. She looked at each of the ponies, then turned to hopefully finally get home. As she neared the path, she fell again on knees and hocks. After a frustrating second, she stubbornly hoisted herself up on all fours and continued slowly on her way.

"Maybe I should walk you home." he watched her and could tell she was tired. "I don't think you want to fall asleep again... nor near catch on fire... " he stepped foward and away from the lake. Now that the stallion had defeated alot of the flames he could safely step towards Jewel.

"I'm fine.. trust me.." Jewel said as she struggled to head the right way. She soon tripped, almost falling into Chief.
Roux..Jewel's thoughts suddenly drifted to the brown stallion who had helped her apprehend the notorious green mare. But where was he now? And why was she thinking of him?

Chief shook his head. "Which way do you live, I insist i see to it that you make it to your home safely. I insist."
Jeeze isn't she stubborn, but she could hurt herself...

Finally, Snow's spell completely consumed the fire. It had taken a lot of effort, a lot of his reserved magical power. His legs were shaking from exertion as he staggered backwards from the blackened earth and trees where the fire had been, then turned toward the ponies gathered by the lake, walking slowly over to them. "Is...everyone okay?" he panted. "Are any of you badly burned? Do any of you know who did this?" Had he not been so tired, he would have been angry. Magical fires like this did not just happen. And he lived in this forest...his house could have burned down.

Chieff walked over to the stallion and the group. Though he was less the Ok to some he was fine in his level of pain tolernce. "I am alright, How are you, Stellaluna and..." He looked at the other "?, And you are," he looked towards the stallion. "That had to be hard, but I am glad you were around, I am no use to magical fires, I have nearly no magic." he shrugged, "It could have burned the whole forest down."
