MEDUSA, THE FIRESTARTER
"Sorbet? Where are you, kid?" She called out, walking toward the beach. She wanted to talk with him, spend time with him, the boy she subconsciously deemed as her son. The ocean's waves brought a dread. Was he swimming?
The stained sands. The stench of salt. Her head sank, body crumpled. "Sorbet.. Sorbet, my boy.. SORBET? WHERE ARE YOU, MY BOY?" She called out, begging. Hoping. Praying. The silence she dreaded. "Not my boy.. Not my boy.. my boy.. my boy.." She strained through tight jaws, aware of the flames that spiraled from her paws. With anger, with rage, she stared out into the ocean. It took him.
"DAMNIT! ARE YOU NEVER SATISFIED? YOU NEARLY TOOK ME, AND NOW YOU TAKE MY BOY - MY SON?? HOW MANY SOULS HAVE YOU TAKEN IN YOUR STUBBORN VIGOR?" Despite the anger, she was breaking. Her voice crackled and she wailed, weeping.
Deep within her, the dam began to crumble, a swath of hellfire and suffering began to spill. Heat radiated in her body, a pain stabbing her heart, her mind, her skull.
Deep within her, a flame grew.
Deep within her, scales shifted.
