Born in Fire

Heat is the first thing i feel. I awoke and everything around me is Moving and Alive. Its Heat, movement its, its Dancing and I am Dancing. I am not alone! There are others Like me, like the Fire around us.

After a while i get hungry and find a object that isn't Fire and i feel like i could eat that so i try. And it works, it tastes delicious. I chew on it and feel myself grow until i absorbed everything and look around. I see my kind eat the objects like me. I feel happy and giggle and continue Dancing in the Fire together with the others.

Days later a group of ours comes back in panik. One of thier group left the fire and did not came back. And we decided to leave the fire to find him. So we followed the others to where they lost him and we stepped out. Into a world unlike our own.

Here was Stuff that wasn't fire and food. A whide landscape filled with green and tall tubes. Gray bulky things that looked solid and a Grate brown thing with a tall Green roof. In the distance there where white fluffy stuff and something glittering and shiny. Wonders things that left me i awe. But soon one of our own found traces on the ground that we left too and we followed them to find the friend of the other group.

It was a colder here and the further we went the cooler it got, but we found food outside so we took it and continued. Soon we came around one of those bulky gray stones and found our friend in a weak state but still there. So we returned with him. He communicated that there where others unlike us. They came from the Dirt and when they tuched him they where hurt by his flame.

The next day a other, who keepet look out came to us with the news that the others came and that they took food from our side and that they tried to touch the fire we lived in and where hurt by it. We got together and went out to look and it was true. Beeing in grays and browns where outside and tried to take the food until they noticed us. They didn't seam to like us and left behind our food. Some of us where happy about it, but i wasn't somehow.

I went back and got to my small group of friends. We liked to dance with each other and where milder than the other flames around us. We where Six at the moment, there was one violette-red but slim flame with an elegant flicker, one ember flame that was very active and always was together with at least another flame, two yellow flames that where allays beside each other and where flickering in sync and one small blue flame that was came recently to us and we all doted on.

I was one of the oldest flame together with violent-red. My Flame was deep orange and was allways giving up some gentle smoke, especially after eating, so i did that a lot even though i wasn't that hungry.

I tried to explain to them what happened and that i didn't like it somehow and they listened. I manipulated my Smoke to show them how they looked like and the others where fascinated by what i did. And how they looked like and began to form thier form after my Smoke, i giggled and joined in on the fun. Soon I've forgot about my worries and we began to play around again. We used leftover food to try to carry around like the others did with our new arms and legs and even trew it back and forth. We had fun for the rest of the day. In the great fire others where doing similar things like us.

One group even got out and gathered the food around the fire like the others did. Me and my friends didn't knew what was happening there and that like children in a sandbox that the flames and earth beeings would get into a conflict over that. A small conflict that would see the first casualties on both sides.
