Tom and Fiona both wander off into the woods in search of fufillment and have wonderful adventures somewhere away from my sight. What precisely becomes of them? Well, not even BASS knows.ShalvaThe light too bright, the heat too hot to stand!
Away, away and to freedom. Into the great cosmos. To the great one.
Where once you sat, merely the gap between two scales...
Now, a prayer.

The crow rapidly begins to fill its head with the
most inane bullshit possible!Shockingly, the corvid finds this
extremely easy to do!"Ugh, w-what are you doing, you stupid bird! You're hurting my mind..."With a pop, the voice, and its pressure disappear. For a second, all that can be heard is the roar of the flames engulfing the bird and everything else nearby.
However, not forever. The small zombie which Moldbin had picked flaming meat off of speaks.
"Go and spread the flame. Start fires. Consume it all for me. And GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE YOU DUMB BIRD!"Moldbin takes off immediately and flies away from the village. The command is unquestionable. But it would seem Moldbin earned the privledge of acting upon it in whatever way it likes, without oversight.
Oh, and it gained some power, too. Power is good, right?

HenricHenric finds a suitable stick and eases the odd flame onto it. It seems to balance on top, not unlike a perching owl. Or perhaps not unlike the flame of a torch. It is strange.
With torch in one hand and shovel in the other, the skeleton trudges to the town neighboring the graveyard he started in. The village proper is... nice. Maybe even a little rustic. The simple wooden homes remind Henric of better times.
There seems to be nobody out and about at the moment. It's night time. Henric isn't entirely sure what time of night it is, having become alive during the middle of the night.
[Observation: 13]
Actually, Henric can see a minor glow over the horizon. Sunrise must be soon.
Light conversation with the flame reveals nothing particularly new. The flame says that it is flame, and it wishes to burn and consume. Perhaps it doesn't yet understand names or desires.
Henric does learn by asking about where the flame came from that it had not existed prior to being conjured by Henric, and was a part of Henric in some way. This is strange, however. Usually when a person actualizes their inner spirit, that energy doesn't become
concious. But that seems to be just what this flame is: magical energy given conciousness and angency but without the mind or memories of a living thing. And it's not something that Henric
crafted intentionally from his energy, it just happened naturally.
