he breaks off a sturdy branch from one of the trees and starts... drawing in the dirt path? first a large circle, about 6 feet in diameter. then, quickly a large one around that. split into sections. squiggles that look more like symbols than they do words. finally a bigger symbol in the middle, what looks to be a spiral around three hugging commas - the mitsu tomoe. the entire process takes mere minutes.
then he's off again to draw one, two more so that in the end, there are three arrays in a row, pointing at the approaching fire. binding seals, meant to slow down the fire and buy them time. ] These should help, but they won't hold up for long once the fire is here.
