The Forging Of Fire

Rising Heat

Our scene opens with fire everywhere and our protagonist approaching a tome set into the pillar at the center of an ocean of flame.

"Child of kindling do you have a tome yet? I wish to be rid of these dreadful flames."

"Not yet my king but I have reached the tome," I said. I am of the lowest position in King Portmanteaus's court the child of kindling, due to my species having immunity to fire and being incredibly proficient with free flame magic, I was never given a name, so I've always been referred to as a child of kindling.

As I pull the tome free, ring of pure ruby falls from the hole. I quickly pocketed the ring before bringing the tome to my king. Though only briefly while it was in my hand, I felt a sort of heat coming off of it.

It's been three weeks since I ripped the tome from its perch and the King has improved my position to the highest it will ever be, scholar, granting me the ring as a gift. Crazy as it may seem the ring started to talk to me that it could help me improve myself and more specifically my magic it began to feel nice on my scaly right hand, The children of kindling are a form of lizardfolk at max height there about 7 foot 5 inches and will have a wingspan equivalent to their height, The king also left the tome to me to study to see what It can do. However, so far my efforts have been fruitless though the ring has helped to translate a few pages because thankfully the town that had been written in an ancient language that would seem to be forgotten.

"My king, you requested me," I said rushing into such a deep bow that my robes get caught in the way.

"I guess scholar C I have an assignment for you. There is a book in the library I have sent a servant to go fetch it for you now I need you to take it on this assignment with you." The King states before being cut off by the General which the king seems surprisingly fine.

"There's a large storm brewing southwest of here I need you to get to the heart of the storm, and you figure out what's going on I will be sending a battalion of guards with you, do I make myself clear."

"Yes sir, may I take my leave to prepare my king?" I said back to both the king and the general.

King Portmanteau and The general are brothers The king being the weaker and smaller of one of the two ultimately stayed home I was trained in royalty the general went and joined the Army. When I said the king smaller and weaker no more is it a parent than in their physicality the Kingston's at about 5 foot tall and has less muscle on him than I do and I'm pretty gangly, The general is a 6-foot tall behemoth of a man I could never outclass him.

"You may."

"Then I shall see myself out," I said oh and one last time and proceeding to run out the door.

Later that same day I went to the Royal library and found the servant he had sent for the book. She was a shortish Filipino woman seeming to be only 16; I greeted her with nothing Threatening in my tone and body language.
"Pardon me miss you appear to have a book that the king sent someone to fetch for me."

"Oh you must be a scholar C, yes I do have a book for you." she said, still being framed at my approach, "I found the best copy we have in the Royal library for you."

"Oh thank you, and will you be accompanying me on this trip?"

"Yes I will," she said flinching away, " I am the daughter of the late queen Portmanteaus the first."

"I see that's why you've been delegated to position the position of servant." The king was ashamed of his first wife because of this he had a child of kindling kill her.

"Yes, my name is Pizza roll, Pizza Roll Portmanteau."

We have been traveling for about a week now, and many of us have died mostly the guards, but now it is time for combat

"Pizza Roll, are you alright?" I yelled across the battlefield.

"Yes I am, thanks for the save there." She exclaimed glancing behind her to see a burning wolf, while she casts a bolt of lightning and a healing spell simultaneously. Pizza Roll through a servant has some serious magical skill. But her best field is restoration and necromancy though she rarely uses the latter. The ring says that mastering duel wielding magic will be the next step on my path of self-improvement. The ring has also told me that there is a powerful artifact in the center of the storm I was sent after.

"Hey. Pizza Roll, what do you think is causing the storm?"

"Probably the mad god of Storms, Your thoughts?"

"An artifact of the mad god of Storms."
