The Jade Knight's blade cleaned itself of any silver left on its surface. The flame creature that had appeared seemed to be surrounded by a charred earth. Not even the Profane Trio dared to get close to whatever this thing was. All the epigones had retreated to a respectable distance. The knight took note of this. Its armor began to creak as it landed mere feet in front of the figure. Its body was that of a young woman, its face looked lost, and where its legs should have been, flames rose. The Jade Knight lifted its sword once more and faced its opponent with its usual cold demeanor.
"You... what are you? Is there something I should call you before you die? For some reason, I can't tell what you are."
A silence hung in the air.
"Are you a spirit? A creature? A human?"
The flame raised its head hearing the last one. To the knight's surprise, he got a response.
"I am... suffering."
The knight felt the heat around itself raise slightly.
