Forest Dweller

You let fly a torrent of fire that scorches both Elos and the birds. You're not sure where this newfound energy came from, but it's enough to stop his assault on the birds for only a moment. This is enough for them to do their work, pecking into him fiercely. Eventually he cries out "EARTH!" And the birds are thrown back, flying into the ground. The fire disperses and you see that his body is stronger now... plates of rock cover it, and his skin looks harder. His eyes meet your own and you know the next stage of battle has come.
