:narrator: once Rachel had finally returned home she walked around the mansion still holding onto this strange dog like animal hoping to find hellex or marina while the maids and servants watched quietly whispering talking about the animal she held within her arms.

:Rachel: damn this place is huge I've been living here for a few months and I still don't know my way around.

:Narrator: the animal continued to bark light blue sparks then suddenly it started to wiggle around in Rachel's arms she tried to keep the animal still but as soon as it sneezed its whole body would disappear within blue flames leaving only flaming particles flowing in the air.

:Rachel: what the hell!! Where did it go it just vanished!!

:Narrator: meanwhile a female maid would be in the kitchen preparing an annual dessert it was when the creature appeared in blue flames in front of the maid scaring and startling her causing the maid to drop a bowl filled with sweet cream batter right on top of the creature causing it to be covered in cream and suddenly it scurried around onto the table before dropping down onto the floor causing a loud bang as the bowl and other objets landed onto the floor the creature would run off creating a trail of cream behind it.

:Female maid: w-what was that!! Was it some kind of dog...oh no the preparation for the dessert is all over the floor and that animal!!

:Narrator: Rachel would be running through the hallways looking for the creature until she heard a loud bang coming from the kitchen.

:Rachel: you have to be kidding me I didn't sign up to chase after this thing!

:Narrator: she ran towards the kitchen from where she heard the loud bang Rachel stopped and saw the maid cleaning up after what had just happened the maid sighed seemingly a bit irritated.

:Rachel: u-um...excuse me have you seen an animal like dog with long fangs with dark blue fur.

:Female maid: yes indeed I did that creature popped up out of nowhere and made me spill this whole batter of cream for dessert it's all covered in it then ran off I hope this doesn't get me fired...

:Rachel: I'm very sorry about this I'm trying to track it down now.

:Narrator: Rachel glanced down at the floor noticing a trail of cream she mumbled to herself on how much this was a pain and started following the trail of cream meanwhile marina and hellex continued talking as they walked with each other discussing the situation of the primordial overseers.

:Marina: if this group really is held bent on bringing them back how would they even do so we know nothing about what happened to them if they died out or perhaps sealed.

:Hellex: many theories can be formed or speculated on what happened to them but death isn't one of them if they were to die this realm and everything we know would perhaps cease to exist the proof that we are all still here and this realm is still intact proves that they are still alive if they are not here then maybe elsewhere.

:Marina: we barely know the history from eons ago only stories that have been told through generations how would we even...

:Narrator: while continuing to speak, marina suddenly stopped as she was interrupted by the sounds of barking which caused her to stop walking and turn her head wondering where that barking was coming from.

:Marina: where...is that barking coming from?

:Narrator: suddenly the animal reappeared out of nowhere tracking a trail of cream left behind it as it starts to run at full speed towards marina and hellex while the animal jumped in the air continuously vanishing and reappearing over and over until rushing right into marina causing her to be knocked over and suddenly being licked all over her face while slightly being covered in cream.

:Marina: wha-what the hell how did this dog get in here?

:Narrator: the more the animal jumped and moved on marina the more cream got onto her dress and face she placed her hands out and grabbed the animal with both hands as soon as she touched the animal suddenly it started to calm down immediately and soon resting on top of her that is when Rachel ran over seeing the whole chaotic situation.

:Rachel: finally I found...o-oh miss marina I'm very sorry about this I was looking for the both of you that's when it slipped away from me.

:Narrator: marina sighed and slowly sat up while holding onto the animal with both hands she slightly held it up while looking over at hellex seemingly trying to hold in his laughter.

:Marina: it's fine dear just mind telling us what's up with this dog and why it's here making a mess while covered in all of this cream.

:Narrator: Rachel walked over towards marina and slowly grabbed the animal with her hands soon marina started to wipe her face a little that's when hellex stuck his hand out to her to help marina up.

:Marina: you were laughing just now weren't you!

:Hellex: o-of course not.

:Narrator: once marina finally stood up still covered in cream she looked over to see hellex smirking she then rolled her eyes and slowly wiped the cream that was all over her hands right across hellex's face as she soon walked passed him hellex stood there with a blank expression marina crossed her arms as she continued to walk.

:Marina: oh look at that now it's twice as funny.

:Hellex: perhaps I deserved that...

:Narrator: while walking Rachel started to explain what happened once all three of them reached hellex's work room which has piles of paper work stacked up on his desk marina would take a piece of silk cloth to wipe her face as did hellex as well.

:Rachel: while going out on a walk in the city I came across 5 men in cloaks cornering this animal it was badly injured and it seemed to have been fighting against them for awhile that's when I stepped in. they were yelling saying they needed this "monster" alive for there plan and...seeing it cornered like that and barely standing reminded me of myself back on earth when being in school I took them down one by one I think I even crucified one of them onto the ground so on top of that and I already don't take seeing animals that badly hurt well so I was a bit pissed off and when looking into the eyes of the last person he felt fear and I made sure that he did but before they all managed to get away he said something about they are the primordial overseers and that the beings from eons ago will return and see that every fake ruler is dead so the real rulers that created this realm may reign and this animal was part of the key.

:Hellex: this is really good information so this...creature is needed for them in bringing them back.

:Sarina: holy shit baby sis you crucified someone gotta say that's some ruthless shit right there didn't think you were the type to be so brutal.

:Narrator: Rachel looked around hearing Sarina's voice soon her hand would pop up from underneath hellex's desk she would slowly stand up slightly groggy and yawning then placed her hand onto the desk and flipped her whole body up landing on top of the desk she squats down with a wide smile showing off her sharp teeth.

:Rachel: how...how long have you been here.

:Hellex: and why are you under my desk daughter.

:Sarina: jeez relax I've been here for a few hours and I sometimes sleep under your desk I sleep pretty much everywhere around the house.

:Hellex: well do you mind getting off the desk before you knock down all the paperwork I spent hours sorting out.

:Narrator: sarina groaned as she slowly stood up on top of the desk then started to stretch her arms out with her back facing them she would lean her body far back until she fell off the desk but before she fell onto the floor her body vanished within dark purple flames only for her to reappear right beside Rachel she starts to lightly poke the sleeping animal that was in her arms.

:Sarina: what the hell is this it's definitely not a dog that's for sure its fangs are really long too.

:Narrator: as soon as sarina poked it a few times the animal's eyes opened up wide it started to growl and snap at Sarina's finger nearly biting it before she pulled her finger back just in time.

:Sarina: tch you damn mutt!!

:Rachel: right another thing...it was dying and losing too much blood so I tried healing its injuries since I was able to heal the cuts that sarina inflicted on me I was hoping I could do the same with this animal it worked but now...

:Narrator: the animal barked as blue flaming sparks spewed out from its mouth while its fur glowed a dark blue color.

:Rachel: I think it worked too well because while healing it my flames entered its body and turned its jet black fur to this darkish blue color now it's sneezing and barking flames I think my flames are connected with this animal sort of like how the star fused with my soul.

:marina: very fascinating...your desire to save this creature that was on the brink of death somehow managed to have it connect with you it's like how I told you before emotional connection that's strong enough to the point both people become one or a part of each other like with hellex and myself and you with the blazing star and in this case that creature wanted to live and you gave it a chance so now a bond between you both has formed.

:Rachel: damnit I only meant to heal its injuries but if it's not a dog then what is it.

:Hellex: that would be a hellhound I've studied as much as I could regarding the primordials I thought hellhounds were extinct it makes sense now from what I know the primordials created hellhounds they were the gate keepers in a way between this realm and outside of it these hellhounds rests in between as guard dogs.

:Rachel: hellhounds exist? Back on earth there are myths and legends about hellhounds and other things but the hellhounds I know about they are the gatekeepers for Hades of the underworld in greek mythology. folklore, tales, myths, gods and other realms always peaked my interest so I occasionally would read up on them.

:Hellex: so that's why they wanted this hellhound it could potentially be the gate for the primordials to bridge across but how they would do it I'm not sure well as of now we have the upper hand this hellhound is in our possession and since it's bonded to you Rachel it's best that it says here for now marina and myself will look more into this in the meantime sarina is in charge of your training.

:Sarina: why the hell me!? Can't she learn on her own I don't have the patience to teach people!

:Hellex: well sarina you are the oldest and have more experience since Rachel catches on pretty quickly then there shouldn't be a problem of you losing your patience now will there? And besides sisterly bonding is never a bad idea.

:Sarina: you've got to be joking...fine fine I'll teach the damn pe-

:Narrator: Rachel roughly elbowed the side of Sarina's arm as the hellhound in her arms started to growl once again sarina rolled her eyes and sighed.

:Sarina: fine I'll teach her a thing or two man you really don't have a sense of humor alright outside right now.

:Narrator: sarina groaned out loudly and soon she vanished within the dark purple flames rachel slightly gave hellex and marina a little nod before leaving she then walked to her room and placed the hound onto the floor before closing the door after that Rachel made her way outside she saw sarina stand there with her arms crossed Rachel soon walked over towards sarina.

:Sarina: come on I don't have all day let's get this over with!

:Rachel: yeah yeah so are you actually going to teach me how to fly or something like that.

:Sarina: seems like I don't have much of a damn choice but there are a few things I need to know from you what is your end goal, what is it that you really want or strive for.

:Rachel: what do I strive for? Hmm it's nothing like money or status nothing material of value I suppose the things I want or strive for is one to experience the Pinnacle of emotion and two to reach a higher level of consciousness back on earth I practically lost everything...even before the incident of my parents death I always felt like living there on earth specifically didn't really feel right to me everything around me was so dull no color or excitement that was one of my wishes to be in a world were I truly feel belong I suppose that one wish came true since I'm here.

:sarina: interesting most of the time someone would say they want to become the strongest to protect the ones they love or something like becoming a king or god or any other kinda crap like that but your striving for something internal and when you say the Pinnacle of emotion what do you mean by that?

:Rachel: well I'm very much aware of how I am...I'm distant and don't say much I don't like people or like being touched everyone has experienced a form of emotion be it sadness, happiness, anger those are emotions based on a reaction to something those feelings will fade in time but what about feeling something beyond the moment feeling emotions not only on the surface but also within the deepest parts of ones self deep within the soul and even deeper the Pinnacle of emotions what would feeling something like that even feel like and how would someone be able to achieve something like that or is it even possible.

:Sarina: and here I am thinking I'll be having a sister that will think normally alright one more thing...you faced those primordial bastards you said they pissed you off for what they've done why didn't you kill them it would have been easy.

:Narrator: Rachel sighed and looked down at her hands slowly clenching her hands into fists before opening her hands back, thinking before she finally spoke.

:Rachel: Every living thing in this world has a soul so who am I to send a soul to its final destination. but if I'm forced to be the guide to row the boat across the sea of ash then I'm no different then a judge pretending to be a false god since I am the last hope that soul will ever see before seeking forgiveness, pleading to not be killed is something to ask from god not a blazing demon so I'll offer silence in apologies for doing the all father's work.

:Sarina: what the hell did you come up with that on the spot? I asked why didn't you kill them not go on a deep moral philosophical recite in the form of a poem but I understand what gives you the right to take a life when you aren't a god but if you're forced too it would be if you had no choice left.

:Rachel: sorry about that I should have given the shorter reason but yes I did come up with that on the spot.

:Sarina: anyways on the flying we don't simply fly that's not something that's part of our abilities but what we can do is manipulate heat any form of heat it can be the heat from flames or the body heat within people or even objects as long as there is heat we can control it even heat in the air you can either use the output of heat energy from within your body and push that heat out and around you into the air to make the air hotter so you can manipulate that heat to float or use the suns heat energy to do it either way feel the heat energy around you in the air and bend it to your will.

:Narrator: Rachel took the time to take in everything on what sarina had said and soon she would close her eyes breathing in and out slowly feeling the heat from the air blow around and over her body while light waves of heat flowed around her body until her feet started to come off the ground Rachel started to float up inching her way up into the air more and more she finally opened her eyes noticing how she hovered above the ground. She placed her hands out like she was trying to keep her balance while being in the air.

:Sarina: not bad just concentrate on the heat energy around you and feel it in the air you also need to be calm if not your ass will fall out of the damn sky once you know the fundamentals of heat and how to use it in different ways then you'll be flying like it's second nature.

:Narrator: Rachel slowly floated higher and higher in the sky moving from left to right trying to stay calm as possible to keep a steady pace.

:Sarina: alright come down id rather you not turn into an Icarus.

:Rachel: u-uhh you never explained to me how to come down only how to go up!!

:sarina: oh right I kinda forgot to tell you how to descend oops.

:Rachel: oops!? Seriously now I'm starting to freak out!

:Sarina: relax the only thing you have to do is-

:Narrator: soon enough Rachel started to lose her focus then her balance while being so high up in the air she starts moving around in every direction trying to gain control that's when she suddenly starts to fall from the lack of concentration.

:Sarina: ohh that doesn't look good...flew too close to sun and now the wings are melting definitely like Icarus ehh she'll be fine.

:Narrator: Rachel tried to steer herself into the direction of burning trees soon falling down completely through the trees to break her fall and landing onto the ground with a loud thump.

:Sarina: yeah she seems fine to me.

:Narrator: sarina snickered while watching she would soon float over towards Rachel seeing her slowly stand up in a pile of blazing leaves that surround her ranging from multiple colors of flames as Rachel walked out from the pile groaning lightly she then glared at sarina.

:Sarina: my bad forgot to tell you how to land well you land by decreasing the heat energy your currently manipulating so you can descend down the more heat you put out to float the higher you go and the faster you travel the more heat you put in and retain the more you'll float down you need to balance the two out if you really want to fly like us.

:Rachel: that...information...would have been useful a moment ago.

:Sarina: you seem alright so no harm no foul that's enough for today I have more important things to do but you did alright for your first time and also the reason why I asked you those questions in the beginning is to see where your resolve was.

:Rachel: my...resolve what do you mean?

:Sarina: here's a little tip take it how you see it but the strength of your flames are only determined by how strong your resolve and your will is. not only you have to be strong physically but mentally as well make your mind, soul, and Spirit unbreakable if your will is unbreakable you will continue to grow stronger only weak willed people have the mentality of thinking they will stay weak or will continue to be stuck in there shit situations. going off the answers you gave me earlier and the fight we had id say your soul already seems pretty damn strong that is the reason why the heavens flame is the strongest our will our very soul is why we are so strong you can't beat warriors with an unbreakable will the flames only grow hotter and brighter until we triumph but that's all I had to say just never forget because I refuse to have a sister to carry the heavens flame name while having a weak and fickle soul.

:Rachel: I'm only as strong...as my will having the mentality to push through even in a battle thank you sarina I will take your words into consideration.

:Narrator: sarina threw up a piece sign before she disappeared completely within a swirl of dark purple flames Rachel soon started to walk back to the mansion and back to her room as soon as she opened the door she saw the hound sitting there on her bed completely torn her pillows to shreds leaving a huge mess sprawled on her bed and onto the floor the hounds tail would wag while looking at Rachel.

:Rachel: how greaat...it destroyed my pillows and made a mess everywhere out of them having a "pet" is going to be just great...
