Dust is a pyromaniac. Ok, ok, stay with me here, don't go-
It started when he was still trapped in his old AU, lonely and insane. He was messing around with his magic, when two of his magic bones collided.

While Dust was lost in his thoughts, the fire had gone out. When he returned from his zone out, he realized this. And so, he tried to create the fire again.
