Like many goblins Ronkus never thought much about the voices he heard in his head. His clan mates and friends were always carrying on conversations with themselves, and so he thought the voice in his head that told him to burn things was just another piece of his inside. He also never thought much about the furry weasel that followed him everywhere, as various animals were companions of many of his clan's families. It wasn't until after a strange confluence of events that Ronkus realized there was more at work. One day while petting Bristler and whispering goblin secrets to her, he distinctly heard the voice telling him to burn. He felt the voice in his chest, and immediately his hands were engulfed in flame. Interestingly, Bristler didn't flinch or squeal. She sat very calmly in his lap, and seemed neither afraid, nor singed by the flames. It seemed she even took on the glow of the fire in her fur as well! Hands wreathed in flame, Ronkus looked around for something to burn, and his eyes were caught by a layer of dried pine needles at the base of a nearby tree. Oh how that tree burned! The glorious crackling and popping of the monolith's sap filled his ears, and the forest was set alight by the wonderful light of that fire. He danced around the fire, and watched the fire spread, soon many of his clan-mates were dancing, yelping, and clapping, at the wonderful destruction. It wasn't long after that incident that the clan warchiefs took him under their wing, and brought him along when they went to raid the nearby human settlements. They rarely gave him more direct orders than, "burn it." Yes, how he loved to burn, but he found that he could also prevent his friends from burning, when he wanted. Thankful, the warchiefs sometimes gave him some of the pretties they picked up along the way, weapons, armor, and other oddments. His most precious gift was a glittering golden ring with a small red jewel, a jewel that burned like fire in the light. He felt safer with that ring on his finger. Ronkus learned to love war, the screams, the running, the burning!
Yes, he and Bristler love the burning. So he spends time listening to Bristler every night before he goes to sleep, stroking her soft fur and listening to her tell him how to burn, feeling her voice in his chest. Then he dreams of a world on fire, and in the day, when he calls on the fire, it comes, and the world blazes.
