[The Red Muse]

It is dark, but I can clearly see a red blaze burning in the horizon. It is no sun that is rising, it is something else. Something evil. Bloodred skies. I've been here before...

Pyre's eyes shot open and he bolts up, gasping for air. He looks around paniced, seeing only the dark forest surrounding him. He closes his eyes and sighs in relief.
"...it was just a dream..." , he hugs himself tightly, "...it was just a dream..."

Pyre shruddered and sat up. He heard voices coming from the clearing. He was able to tell that the other one who spoke was Nig, but the second voice was a mystery to him.

Pyre yawned and walked to the two mudokons. When he came to them, he curiously eyed the newcomer. Giving a faint smile to the mudokon, he sat down next to Nig.
"Hey. What's up?", he yawned again," ... and who might you be, stranger? I'm Pyre, the fire elemental, at your service.", Pyre laughed.
