Jinx grinned at the new prank she was going to play. And the best part, she had been told to do it by one of the godborn!
She really hadn't been thinking of doing pranks for once. This time she had decided to leave the oceans and strike out to see the rest of the world. It was fun for the first couple of numbers but she had grown bored flying across the endless sands. With the Smiley trees the only other color around. She would have turned around and gone back but by that tie she was thoroughly lost. O she tried to follow her tracks back but quickly discovered that swimming through the air left no tracks to follow. So kept going. She stopped and stayed under the colorful singing trees often. She had been rather surprised when she came to the edge of a swamp. She did a twirly loop and headed into the more colorful area. The swamp quickly changed to that of a place that had these black pools scattered around. It was here that she had met Yume. And it was Yume that had given her new task. Setting something on fire..
Ideas started forming in her head. But as quickly as she thought of them she tost them out until one idea stuck. So... Yume wanted something on fire. Jinx's grin grew bigger. First things first. She would need to get something small on fire. And that flame needed to last long enough to be brought to where she wanted it.
She went in search of something that would help her. It took her many more numbers before she found what she was looking for. She found it in a creature that was entirely made of metal. It had ears and eyes and a small flame inside. After awhile she convinced it to come with her back to the tar pits. Now to get something to catch fire. She was starting to think that she would never find anything when she spotted a broken black branch lying at the base of a bleeding heart tree. A single heart shape fruit clung stubbornly to the branch. Not wanting to waste anything she plucked it off and swallowed it, placing it in her internal pouch.
She soon found herself back in the tar pits. Now to find the best spot. She didn't want a pool next to the swamp or any other combustibles. She went deep into the tar pits until she found what she was looking for. She took the stick and gently poked it into the center of the Vulklin. the end of the stick burst into flame. Now the fun starts. She wasn't sure how well this would work but Yume did say to start something on fire.
At the last moment Jinx decided to step back and throw the stick. She spun twice and then let go. She watched the linb fall through the air and then land in the tar. The flame still dancing at the end of it.
There was a loud Whoosh and Jinx and the Vulkin had to step quickly backwards as the tar pit was engulfed in flames.
Woah, That went better then she thought it would.. Jinx admired her work then she the Vulkin ran away. Laughter ringing through the air.
