  19. Nothing happened. The man laughed, shaking his head. "Goodbye." Then... he vanished.
  20. "I will try. That will, unfortunately, involve killing you." He raised his staff.
  21. "I have no idea." The thing approached them, searing the ground as it moved.
  22. They walked up to the light. Fire and ash whirled together, spitting sparks.
