Blue slowly opens his eyes after the long day that now has past.

The moon is high, a clear sky.

It's not very silent though.

In the village close to blue the people are screaming and laughing.

Blue looks tired, he makes a big yawn and wonders how he was able to sleep through all that noise.

He jumps down to start his day but suddenly stops.

It hit the poor young wolf, he was all alone now.

his face carried sadness.

He slowly got angry, what is he supposed to do now!

His face turned full determination towards the village.

But not the village to be precise, he was looking at the fire.

He wanted to grow stronger, he wanted to never have this happen to him again!

He knows what to do, The old man rambled on and on about it every day.

He needs to hunt things in different ways.

Blue was thinking about it for a little while, when suddenly he had the ingenious idea of hunting them, with fire!

Blue was inspired by the big campfire he was looking at, and the tremendously powerful fire breath of his gramps.

He had a satisfying look on his face, he thought of himself as a genius.

But how is this self proclaimed genius going to hunt with fire?

He walked circles around the big tree while pondering.

Loud laughs and angry screams came from the villagers.

Ugghhh, Blue looked annoyed!

How could the young genius think with all that noise!

He turned around to tell them to shut up with a big bark, but just as he inhaled the air to let out a massive shout, he stopped.

He saw the campfire!

Ofcourse how did he not think of that!

It was clearly what inspired him before, a thought crossed his mind.

Maybe I'm not actually a genius?

Blue shook his head directly after thinking about it. Nahhh there's no way, right?

After a moment of silence, He looked satisfied with his plan.

Step one, hunt something small!

Step two, Kill by holding it in the campfire!

Step three, Profit!

The plan was simple yet perfect, fool proof if you asked the young wolf.

There where no holes, nothing that could change the outcome.

This is why they call him a genius.

The plan began.

Blue started searching for a small animal, it was harder then he expected.

There were less trees so animals were more careful.

He was slowly walking through a weed field when he suddenly heard a rustling in a bush!

Could it be a rabbit or a hare? Maybe a fox or something similar?

The bush was thick and had green leaves.

The movement made a twig drop here and there.

Blue sneaked towards it.

His huge paws barely touched the ground, his ears were as wide as they could, as they pointed towards the sky.

Tension on his face, his deep blue eyes on the bush.

Every single step he got closer, he was ready.

He stopped walking and got in a position to pounce.

His entire body low towards the ground.

His right front paw slightly raised up.

About 5 seconds passed but it felt like time stood still.

It suddenly showed itself!

It had a small green head pop out of the bush, its mouth didn't cover all of his teeth, ugly dark black eyes that weren't symmetrical.

A nose that was like a pig's nose and a few thin strands of hair.

It was the ugliest goblin that had ever been seen!

The second he popped his head out of the bush Blue jumped on it.

A strong and mighty swing of his paw flew through the air, right on his head.

The goblin flew straight against a tree and got knocked out.

He stood no chance, he never even knew what hit him.

Blue looked almost confused.

Why was it so weak?

He didn't complain though.

Blue walked towards the knocked out goblin and picked it up with his huge jaws.

He carried it with great care as his teeth didn't even puncture the goblins skin.

He wasn't that far away from the village, barely an hour had passed.

After he made it towards the village it was a lot less hectic outside.

Most of the people went to bed by now, however there were still some drunkards doing drunk things.

Blue decided without too much thinking that he would just do the deed and run away fast.

With a determent gaze he looked towards the fire with the goblin still in his mouth.

It's time!

He took a few steps back and then ran with amazing speed towards the gate.

He looked beautiful, his hair shining in the moonlight and his paws galloping like a wild horse.

Just before reaching the gate he made an impressive jump with the goblin shaking around locked in his jaws.

He easily jumped over the wall and made a clean landing without slowing down.

He ran straight towards the fire.

The only drunkard that was still awake was far too busy messing with the barmaid to notice anything.

He did it!

Blue got to the fire.

It was big, at least 3 meters high and surrounded by big stones for safety.

The heat of the campfire was intense.

Blue looks confident and softly throws the goblin in the fire so that only his head is in it.

He then raised his mighty paw and held the goblin in place.

The goblin didn't move though.

It died while in a coma from the fire.

Blue felt it! He also felt this strange feeling when he ate the horn of the deer!

His claws and the skeletal piece by his head started to change color.

The tips of every single claw and teeth became a slight yellow as the base didn't change color.

Weird, that's not what he had hoped for!

Blue was thinking that he would become a hell hound but that didn't happen at all!

Blue did know what changed though.

He just knew, It was his own body after all.

He had broken the neck of the goblin without knowing, but he killed it by throwing it in the fire.

It's a backhanded way to hunt, almost considered cowardly.

His teeth and claws now had a toxin in them.

It was not a deadly one, but it could put a grown man to sleep within minutes.

Blue was disappointed in his newfound power.

If this doesn't work then how will I gain fire powers!

He was frustrated.

In the back he suddenly heard the barmaid yell, Let me go you crea.....

She was cut off before being able to finish her sentence.

Blue turned around still frustrated to see what the commotion was all about.

The drunk man had put his hand on the waiter's neck.

The man was average height and had pretty blond hair.

He had good posture and was wearing nice clothes.

The barmaid was in panic, tears rolling down her face.

Her long brown hair was a mess as she tried to gasp for air.

She tried to scream but couldn't. She was helpless, the man was far too strong and had a good hold on her.

the drunkard whispered softly in her face, "You dirty whore, how dare you insult me.

I will kill you and have my way with you afterwards."

The poor barmaid barely reacted, her face slowly became lifeless.

Blue had seen enough.

He grabbed a stick from the campfire.

Awrrrf, Blue made a small cry as his mouth got burned.

However, blue did not care as he ran towards the man.

He was angry, he wasn't only angry because the man was killing the poor barmaid.

He was angry because the man made him think of what had happened to him.

Rage in his eyes and incredible speed he marched towards the disgusting man.

He swung the stick still on fire burning in his mouth right towards the vile man and penetrated his stomach.

The dreadful man screamed in agony, Agghhhhhhh!!!!

He directly let loose of the woman and she fell to the ground.

The barmaid just laid there while slowly color came back to her face as she was gasping for air.

The man kept screaming and running around in complete chaos.

The stick slowly put his clothes on fire and within seconds the man was entirely set ablaze.

He kept on screaming for about half a minute before he finally dropped.

He was dead, really dead.

smoke released from his burning corpse.

Blue just stared as it all happened.

He honestly thought nothing about it.

He was feeling empty after having killed the man that he felt such extreme hatred towards.

He knew that wasn't the man that ruined everything and yet, he couldn't help himself.

Suddenly.

Blue felt it again!

He's changing!

His fur went from a dark grayish color to an even darker gray and black.

The black parts of fur were as dark as the robe that the reaper would wear.

He got red spots over his body like small embers flying through the sky at night.

He did it, he felt heat in his body.

An intense warmth deep within his very soul.

This was undoubtedly the gift of flames!

Power surged through him, it needed to come out, now!

Blue didn't know what to do, his body slowly started to hurt all over.

Tiny flames started to cover his newfound black fur.

Suddenly blue started to let out a massive howl.

All four of his paws connect to the ground like sturdy trees.

His sharp snout pointed towards the full moon.

The moonlight shined brightly on Blue as if the blanket of stars were only there for him.

A presence that was mythical and fearless.

He slowly opened his mouth while howling.

A small flame appeared from Blue's mouth.

It slowly formed a ball while flickering.

The woman regained her consciousness and was coughing with a painful but relieved face.

Her eyes landed on blue, but how could she not.

His presence was noble and absolute.

Upon laying eyes on Blue all she could think of was that she saw a myth.

An old story made up for fun.

But this was far from a made up fable.

This was reality, a nightmare of a reality!

although the orb of fire was flickering and looked weak. it radiated an immense heat.

small water pools that were scattered around started to slowly evaporate, the entire village was lit brightly by the light of that one small orb.

Suddenly massive gushes of wind appeared, the air was running from Blue!

Gwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooshhhhhhhh!!!

An ear deafening sound was made as the ball exploded upwards.

Fire flew out of Blue's mouth as if he was the king of all dragons.

A cone of fire that flew at least 50 meters into the sky.

It towered over everything as the entire sky was turned bright.

For about 10 seconds long it wasn't night anymore, but day.

The barmaid covered her head.

Her face hurt!

She got some small burns even though she was laying on the ground so far away!

Finally the fire disappeared as blue crumbled.

He fell towards the ground without any resistance.

Everything he had got was in that one moment.

His Beautiful Blue eyes slowly turned red as he fell.

He laid there on the ground, too tired to even close his eyes.

He passed out while the screams of the villagers were chaotic.
