Blaze

Chapter 15-A new outfit

Blaze trained from dawn to dusk with her lightning powers, she was starting to perfect using them. She learned how to do various different things with the powers. Blaze also learned how destructive and dangerous they can be.

One evening when Blaze was starting to complete her training for the day, she thought about what Flame said to her. Then she remembered Flames new outfit that he was wearing.

"That's what I'm missing, I need a new outfit. I can't keep wearing these pants and shirts, not when I have to fight someone with fire powers. I have to get a new outfit, I'm sure there's a store somewhere in the city that will sell something good." Blaze started her walk towards the city and she noticed the sky started to darken. "It must be getting late, I better find a good store soon."

Blaze quickly made her way towards the city. When she arrived she started looking around at the different stores. She passed by some stores that sold only t-shirts and jeans. "That won't work, I need something better then just a t-shirt. I need something like Flame had." Blaze continued walking then she passed by a store that sold only dresses. "That definitely won't work."

Blaze kept walking around in the city looking at all of the stores until they all started to close. "I guess it's getting pretty late. I should head back to the cave and come try looking again tomorrow." Blaze let out a sigh then she turned and started to head back to the forest.

"I can't believe none of these stores have anything good. I wish I knew where Flame got his outfit." As Blaze was walking she noticed a small store tucked back in a dark alley. She could see a few lights still on and the sign said 'open'. Blaze walked into the alley and up to the small store. She noticed that the stores name was not in English, it was written in symbols that she did not understand at all. There was no display case in the front of the store either so she didn't know what would be inside.

"This place looks interesting, they might have something good." Blaze opened the door and walked inside. She saw it was a little darker inside with only a few lamps to light up the store. There were red and black decorations all throughout the store, a few cloths were hanging up and they had a golden dragon design on them.

"How can I help you miss?" Blaze looked over to see a man much shorter then she is standing behind a counter. He looked to be only 5'5, when he spoke he had a thick accent. He was also wearing black and red robes, something Blaze hasn't seen anyone in the city wear before.

"Do you sell any clothing that's unique here? Something that's not a t-shirt and pants." Blaze asked. "Yes I do, if you're looking for something very unique I can make you a custom outfit." "I might be interested in that." Blaze walked up to the counter. When she approached she noticed fabric that was black with a flame design at the end of it laying on the counter. It was the same fabric that Flames outfit was made out of.

"Where did you get that fabric?" The man looked down at it. "I made it, but it's not important." The man quickly took the fabric off the counter and he turned to a box. He opened the lid and shoved the fabric inside then he put the lid back on the box. Blaze tilted her head a little at his quick action to put away the fabric.

"Did you make that fabric yourself?" Blaze asked the man. "Yes, now lets get started on your custom outfit." Blaze wondered why the man kept avoiding the topic of the fabric, but she did know that Flame was the one wearing an outfit with that exact fabric, and she was going to get the answers that she wanted.

"Answer me or I will take my business elsewhere." Blaze stated. "Who did you make that fabric for?" "I can't tell you, if I do he might kill me." The mans voice started to shake. "So it was a man." Blaze said as she heard him say the word 'he'. "Was the man tall with very dark brown hair, almost black and it's tipped in red?" The man hesitated before nodding. "Did he have red eyes?" The man nodded again. This confirmed who Blaze thought it was, her brother Flame.

"Do you know that man?" He asked. "It's a long story." "Don't get involved with him, he seems very dangerous." He warned. "I'll do my best. Now about my custom outfit." Blaze said changing the subject. "Ah yes, what colors were you thinking of wanting?" He asked. "Something dark so I can blend in at night." The man thought for a moment before speaking. "You could do a dark blue or a dark grey." He suggested but Blaze shook her head. "I need something darker, like black." "Then black it is."

Blaze spent over an hour with the man trying to figure out the type of outfit that she wanted, part of why it took so long was because some words he said she couldn't quite understand, but eventually she figured out what he meant. His accent was very strong at times. Eventually after thirteen outfit concept ideas, Blaze had decided on the perfect outfit design with the mans help.

"When will it be done?" Blaze asked. "Two years." Blaze looked at the man stunned then he chuckled. "Just kidding, give me two weeks and I'll have it completed." Blaze nodded. "Alright, I'll be back in two weeks at this time to pick it up." Blaze turned and made her way towards the door. "Goodbye now." The man said in perfect English with no accent. Blaze turned to look at him then she only shook her head and left.

Blaze made her way back into the forest and towards her cave that she now lives in alone. Without her brother around things were very quiet.

Blaze stayed awake half the night training herself for Flames arrival, she couldn't let him hurt anyone else. Chris would be the only one that suffered, and she was going to make sure one else felt the pain that he did.
