An Idiot, a Dragon, and Some Rock People. (PM to enter)

[Shulk]

"Rin, wait--" Shulk started, but Rin had already dashed off into the cave entrance. Predictably he returned seconds later, smelling of soot and emanating smoke from his ash covered clothes. "you shouldn't rush into danger without a plan," the Homs chastised, looking at both of his headstrong friends worryingly before turning towards the cave. Shulk pondered how this next obstacle could be conquered, and his thoughts soon turned to omnilium. He rummaged through his pockets and retrieved the tiny rainbow colored sphere; even at the top of a mountain it felt cold to touch. "When I arrived, Omni told me that 'omnilium' could create anything I wanted, maybe I could use it to make my clothes heat resistant?" Shulk pondered aloud while staring into the little sphere.

The first time he had tried to use omnilium the sphere hadn't worked at all, maybe a lack of concentration was the problem? "I'm going to test something, I'll need to concentrate," Shulk warned, knowing full well just what kind of hyperactive company he was keeping. The Homs closed his eyes and gripped the sphere tightly, keeping his thoughts focused on one thing: heat-resistance for his clothes. Concentration proved difficult with the heat and distant sounds of crumbling rocks and far away booms; the minutes passed with little fanfare. Ten slow, agonizingly silent minutes later, a pleasant coolness washed over Shulk. The boy opened his eyes and stared down, and his clothes were exactly as they were ten minutes ago.

There was a wonderful absence of sweltering heat now, much like being in the Nexus felt. Shulk glanced down at his omnilium, amazed at what he'd just done, "It... it worked! It took a bit of focus, but it worked!" The boy looked at Ruby and Rin excitedly, "you two should try using this! You just need to concentrate on having clothes that're resistant to extreme temperatures, and you'll get it!" The boy rapidly explained.
