The image of fire reflected in his indomitable yellow eyes as Wildfire paced through the wood, lighting up the ground before him with a ball of flames. Fia flew ahead of him, her feathers in the form of fire in order to shine a beacon of light in the darkness. It was a normal night in the Niahi woods; the trees were so dense with branches and leaves that scarcely any moon-light shined through, and so the duo was forced to create their own light. The flame-haired boy used his golden fire-spear as a walking stick as he trekked through the forest, looking around for landmarks. He had grown quite used to the woods after having spent a lot of time in its' natural embrace. However, he had forgotten just how dark it could get here. After all, he just arrived this morning from Serendipity. He was still wearing the robes he left in too, the expensive silks he received at the Elementalists' Guild. Dark red with golden fire embroidery, and a yellow sash tied around his waist. A normal man would be cautious not to get them dirty in such a forest, but Wildfire was definitely not an ordinary man.
The Mages' eyes saw.. something. A flash of movement behind some trees, and for a moment he thought of inspecting it. However, he decided against it. It's just your nerves Koda.. He thought to himself, continuing through the wood. Yet, an eery feeling began to overtake him. The last time he had felt something so frightening within him was when he met a "demon" in the same forest. Except... he wasn't much of a demon, just a man with a curse of terror placed on him, poor thing. Regardless, there were no demons here tonight, Wildfire was sure of that.
He was brought back to his reason for coming here when he heard the cries of a child in the distance. The daughter of a wealthy merchant had gotten lost somewhere in the forest on their annual visit to La'marri, and now the man was offering a hefty reward for his daughters' safe return. Wildfire needed some money for his visit to the seer the next morning anyway, so he figured why not help?
The Firebird looked down to him upon hearing the scream, and Wildfire responded to her with a nod. "Go check it out Fi."
