Imperia I can...burn things?

"It's...really hot," Imperia murmured. She moved her paw down and onto the ground. A leaf nearby burned, turning into ash. Imperia jumped in surprise at the sound and smell of it. She blinked and then turned her attention to Macawi, hoping the coyote hadn't seen her jump.

"I...can burn stuff?" Imperia's eyes widened and, if one were to look close enough, they would see a glint. "That's really cool!" She had a grin on her face, and felt like jumping up and down and burning anything nearby, but she stopped herself before she did. "I mean...It's really great. Might come in handy." She gave a nonchalant shrug, trying to act as if it wasn't a big deal, despite inwardly freaking out.

"Listen to me."

@Macawi

Macawi was not at all surprised to learn that Imperia’s Magic was Fire. It fit the little caracal perfectly. The coyote sat and grinned at her in joy, happy to see that the gemling was… happy, for once. “You must be careful, of course,”
she warned. “You could really hurt yourself. But I am glad your Magic works!” Macawi watched Imperia for a time, and then got to her paws. “Well, it seems you are doing just fine! If you ever need more help, seek Macawi out! She’ll be around.” Macawi gave Imperia a mischievous wink. “If you ever need Macawi, just ask for her. She will find you.”

With that, Macawi turned away and disappeared into the mist, whistling a happy tune long after her encounter with Imperia.

"Speech"

Imperia I'm going to burn everything!

Imperia blinked up at Macawi. Be careful? Why should she be careful? It's not like the spell hurt anymore! She couldn't even feel it. ...Or maybe that was because the spell had stopped. Regardless, who cares about being careful? She can burn things now! This would be sure to gain her the power she wanted! If she just burned anyone she came across...Others were bound to start fearing her! She watched as Macawi began to walk away. She shrugged, no longer caring for the strange coyote. She had her own thing to do now! She was going to burn everything!
