The aura blast passes through the flames, extinguishing them. However, there is no cry of pain, and the storm doesn't let up. Then out of nowhere, Zane feels a shotgun blast on the small of his back. The pellets lodge themselves inside of Zane, however far they've gotten. If Zane turns around, he can catch a glimpse of a figure covered in flame running back into the storm. After the shot however, visibility clears up slightly.
