Snippet #2385830

Rayburn smiled as his sister took interest in showing off too after his friend's display of power. However, he was too relaxed to react fast enough when the fire shot out of her hands. His fear quickly subsided as their Mom cleared things up before they had a forest fire on their hands. Ash didn't take it too well though, she buried her face in his shirt and he began to stoke her hair for comfort.

"It's okay Ash, you didn't do anything wrong." Rayburn tried to say when one of the other moms came over. Rayburn looked at her with wide eyes before she too pulled fire out and tried to teach Ash. He crinkled his nose at her weird fire.

"She can't burn her eyebrows off she's a phoenix." Rayburn corrected like a smart ass and then generated his own fire sword with the twist of his wrist. "Phoenix fire is pure and has one size, you can't make it bigger or smaller, fire can only be lost or gained. Ash just has too much of it that's all, she's still too little to contain it." Rayburn's fire sword molded into a coating of fire on his arm and then vanished as it sunk back into his skin. He wasn't trying to be rude, a long time ago he had to explain this to his Mom and Dad too.
