And
as
she
rose
to
a
height
she
approved
of,
she
found
a
replenishing
supply
of
clay
coming
from
the
ever
-
flowing
volcano
.
Diverting
the
lava
flow
through
thin
air
was
a
mere
warm
up
exercise
for
the
Jasmine
Sparkfloe
of
today,
once
she
found
out
that
she
can
draw
enough
mana
to
do
so
.
It
warmed
her
up
for
the
main
job
for
the
day:
The
creation
of
a
tower
.
A
lighthouse
.
A
signal
for
passing
ships
.
Jasmines
creative
imagination
was
up
and
running
by
the
time
that
the
levitated
lava
flow
was
directly
in
place
above
the
perfect
spot
at
the
front
of
the
getty
.
She
let
it
pour
from
that
height,
starting
her
mana
-
based
clay
-
spinning
.
Five
columns
of
still
-
glowing
-
hot
lava
stab
through
the
sand
and
dirt,
driving
down
into
the
bedrock
.
Once
the
foundation
was
set,
the
lower
house
was
formed
on
the
four
corner
columns,
with
the
interior
walls
with
doorways
molded
in
place
around
the
central
pillar
.
As
the
lava
fell
into
place,
it
cooled
and
hardened
into
rock,
although
it
was
still
pliable
enough
for
the
occasional
window,
made
by
melting
the
beachs
sand
into
glass
planes,
can
be
affixed
in
place
.
And
Jasmine
made
sure
that
there
were
lots
of
windows
.
As
the
roof
of
the
lower
house,
the
large
central
pillar
was
hollowed
out
to
rise
up
above
the
lower
house
.
A
spiral
staircase
snaked
around
the
insides
of
the
pillar,
making
sure
that
there
was
a
center
empty
space
wide
enough
for
her
to
levitate
up
and
down
.
She
had
to
force
herself
to
make
sure
that
the
walls
of
this
pillar
was
thick
enough
to
hold
what
she
had
in
mind
.
At
seven
-
eights
of
the
way
up
to
where
she
was
floating,
the
walls
thinned
by
half
and
stretched
out
slightly
.
At
this
point,
an
upper
house
was
molded,
a
private
study
and
bedroom
for
herself
.
A
place
to
keep
Urzas
archive
safe
as
well
as
a
inner
sanctum
to
mediate
in
.
