* Makes a pretzel appear for all.
"OOOOOOOOO pRETzELLL!!!!!!"
"oh thank god food, i thought we were going to starve"
"I could have hunted and gathered us a meal but noooo someone said that was "too dangerous" and that "that's not part of the plan" and "you are wasting too much time already" and-"
"I think they get the point"
they were sitting at a fire, stars somewhat overhead as they took a rest. their campsite was plain, but safe. enough to get a bit of sleep and move on.
"PRETZLE PRESEL PTERZE;L PRETZEL PREZL MMMMMMMM :DDDDDDDDD"
"thank you any way for the meal. can't fell a world ending threat if your starving"
"we aren't going to kill him"
"we aren't? ',:<"
"we are"
"Hi."
"GASPPP HAIIIIII :D Frennnn!!!!"
"what the- did that fire just speak?"
"oh you heard that too? interesting. i thought we were "imagining it""
"???"
"hmmm... living fire...? not sure i trust that" 'better have an escape route'
'frennn!!!!'
"um, nice to meet you?"
"Hi I'm friendly fi-"
"Who are you trying to kill?"
"Ardent..."
"you know the truth. a monster who is going to end the world. why would you fight against the truth?" (narrator isn't used to being in a body, and doesn't realize her words are coming out loud)
"uhhh... rein? the monster? though we haven't decided if we will actually kill him or not"
"Oh yeah the classic 'world ending creature' thing. We have like a hundred of them around and guess what? The world's not over!"
"Oh yeah, we work for him."
'they... have... a lot of those....?' "What?"
"you work for him?"
"DUHHHHHH"
"with that monster? how does he even run a business? does he even exist to the government?"
"what's he like?"
"I have no idea how legal any of this bullshit is."
"But like, does it matter?"
"He cares a lot about his work. He has friends. He's kinda nice? He hunted someone one time, just because he felt like it. He's in love with someone called like... Damsel? No... something like that, anyway."
"Dame."
"Oh, yeah, right. He also knows about all of the different timelines... what else..."
"Dame?"
"da fuc?"
her face grows hot
"he- i mean he sounds nice right? no need to go storming in and killing him, besides there's a lot of other threats and we can't possibly fell them all right? maybe this place stops what ever horrors were going to happen or- uhh"
"You're talking very fast you know?"
"the world wont end!!!! i mean heack, it eneded when we did nothing right?! szoooooo0o0ooo0000000 why not jujst let him live????"
"many reasons"
"many many reasons. namely revenge"
"any way. what is this talking fire doing here...?"
"You made a fire. That's us. We're fire."
"Are you Dame?"
"You seemed nice, I wanted to talk to you."
"I am, yes"
"THANSKSSS you seem nice too :3333"
("Sentient fire... never thought id see the day")
"What's your name or names?"
"Oh uh"
Its clear they have never had to do this before, at least not like this
"Dame?"
"IM MADD HAI, that angry ones Slayerrr and the broody one is the NARRATIRRRR you can caller narry thoo XP"
"Broody? And no you can not call me narry!"
"You're funny!"
"That was Gleeful- or Sparks, I'm Friendly, there's also Ardent, Holy and All-consuming. It's nice to meet you."
"THanksssss!!! :DDSSSSDDD"
"It's nice to meet you as well"
"As unexpected and... unrealistic it was"
("Mhm. Unrealistic...")
("We were litterally sent to kill a living thing to save the world, and a talking fire is too out of your scope of "reality"???")
"Why is everyone always so surprised by us? There are talking fries, how is talking fire any less realistic!"
"Everyone knows that fire always had a mythical and powerful side: it being sentient should be expected."
"I mean, I don't think fire I sentient everywhere. At least, we're not everywhere. We're everywhere in the area, in the city and in its surroundings, but that's it."
"For now..."
