Blaze was sitting at the summit of Sunrise, watching as the sun was beginning to fall into the west behind Sunset. "Good bye until tomorrow." He said as he stood up. The last bit of sun tucked behind the mountain. He looked to the eastern sky, he could already make out plenty of stars. He grabbed his sword and cut a small slash on a rock, joining millions of others. Above it had a few strange characters that translated into, "Sunsets Watched" alongside "Start Date: 1st day of Earth." Only a few thousand marks seemed new, the others seemed very old, the gap between when he was killed and when his memories returned to Tremor.

((Why do I get the distinct feeling that im going to regret joining this thead? *sigh*))
Molly had been hiking, in a sense. As the sun set it began to get darker and darker, and she lit a small fiery whisp in front of her to guide her like a torch. She looked up to the sky- the sky was dark- there seemed to be so few stars visible then- It was probably from all the polution from the city. She inwardly shrugged and came upon the tip of the mountain and looked out with pride, although she couldn't see very far with the darkness, she could see the city skyline. She noticed movement out of the corner of her left eye and saw Blaze. "Oh Hello." She said, letting the flame hover between them, "I didn't know anyone else would be up here..."

Blaze turned his head just enough to look at her. "And I didn't know a fellow pyro would be joining me today." A second flame floated next to hers. "But I guess thats what happens when you don't pay attention to a fire coming over to you."

Molly smiled lightly, "Your a Pyro too?" She looked on to the flame, it seemed brighter than hers, but she knew that came with age. Thing was, he didn't look that old. "...Who are you?" She asked curiously, the sound of her voice breaking some silence she didn't realise was happening.

"My name is Blaze," He said. "Its a pleasure to meet you." He examined her flame. "How long have you been practicing with fire?" Blaze seemed curious about this one, mostly due to the fact that it had been a long time since he ran into someone similar in power to himself.

"My whole life... " She didn't know how to judge him. The age of his fire and him didn't seem to match up. "My name is Molly Rebson, Sir Blaze, Sir." She said giving a light salut. "If you don't mind me asking... How old are you? Your flame... It doesn't appear to match up... I'm only curious."

Blaze looked at the sky, seeming to be searching for something. He looked back at Molly, "Older than any of those stars have been in existance. Most of them are dead stars now." He said gazing past her to the starts behind her. "These stars are like great-grandchildren to my star."

Molly got a bit confused, "Wait... Excuse me but, you came from.. a star? Is that what you are saying?" She scratched the back of her head and looked once again at his flame. "So... You aren't human at all... I should have assumed that..." She sighed, and looked up towards the night sky as he did. "Were there any wars? Or battles?.. Heroes?"

"Well, to put it simply. I helped make the first star which I soon found out stars are complete failures. But they created more and more as they died off. And we found this idea good. Thats when all of us creators decided to make reproducing life, we chose Earth among others to be the place to do it." Blaze said. "And yes there were wars, not so many good guys and bad guys or heros, just those that stood on one side or another of a decision."

Molly stood in thought for a minute, "Creators... Are they Gods?" She asked. "I'm afraid I don't really understand..." She shook her head, "If you are saying you are one of these... Creators... What are you the creator of? Stars?"

Blaze chuckled. "Gods, no. If I were a god the universe would be a single star, just as it was planned. Gods are perfect. They are the ones that created things like matter and life and thoughts and Creators. Creators just took over from there." Blaze said. "My creation is fire."

Molly smiled, "Fire? You... Made Fire?" Her smile morphed into a grin, "Wow... You gave me my gift!" She laughed happily. It was like being in the presence of a celebrity to her. "But can I ask something... Are creators allowed to tell people like this? I mean.. about the Gods and 'Creators'... Is there no rule against it?" She shook her head, "It probably doesn't matter does it... People probably wouldn't believe you..." She squinted past the flames to him, "But I see your flame...." Suddenly, Molly got an idea, "Sir Blaze Sir! May I please Spar with you, Sir!" She asked.

Blaze was taken back by all the questions. "Well thats the thing about thoughts, you are free to think and do. Creators aren't really judges, and Gods are just the ultimate creators. They just kinda gave us rules..." He then realized what she had asked last, "You wanna fight a Creator? I mean, I can't exactly burn you, but I've used a sword since I took a human form. Thats a long time ago."

Molly nodded, "Yeah I do want to fight please!" She grinned, "You'd be perfect. Your powerful enough to give me a real challenge! I can become stronger that way, if you please!!" She said, sounding very excited by the idea.

Blaze sighed. "Alright, never really refused a challenge, why start now?" He slung his sword over his shoulder and walked a few yards away from her before turning around. He readied his sword for a quick swing with lots of force behind it, though he couldn't say much for the recoil he would get. "Show me what you got Molly."

Molly couldn't stop the grin from growing, "Alright!" She said happily, "Thank you!" She closed her eyes to steady herself as she pulled her Katana out from her belt clip. The runes on the shieth made any magic used against her void, and a few extra things as well given to her by Talon when they had met. A Circle of fire-drops appeared around the two of them in a ring on the mountain top, like individual flames to light the area. She felt tingling on the tips of her fingers- she wanted to activate her fire, but she figured it wasn't necessary. She knew Blaze was waiting for her to strike. She stilled herself before rushing at him, and when she got close, she swung her sword in a classic horizontal arc at his chest before quickly moving into defensive and jumping to the side. She wanted to see how he fought.

Blaze pulled his hand downward so that a rush of fire shot outward with enough force to equal that of the blade. "Fire is more defensive than it is offensive, something you should learn." He glanced at the fire surrounding them, wondering what her motive for that was. Blaze glanced back at Molly, "Still your move."

Molly thought about that for a moment. She hadn't really used Fire as Defence before. She figured that since fire was Permeable, it wouldn't be much use in defence. From the side of him, she jumped off to behind him and jumped at him, slashing upwards at his back, then nimbly jumping back a safe distance and circled him.

Blaze dropped his sword backward to defend against hers. The sword stuck straight into the ground. "Now something good that comes with control of fire. Hot air rises, very hot air picks up things." Fire encased his sword and it began to float. "And once you master that, you can move almost anything." Blaze turned around toward Molly. The sword began to float toward her then started slashing at her downward from above.

("But isn't that powerplaying?" Molly asked sincerely. T_T)
Molly raised her own sword in defence and a bubble like barrier formed around her. For the first time since Talon gave her the power, it actually worked for a few seconds. A small smiled formed on her lips as she marvelled at it momentarily. And then it was gone. It gave her enough time however to jump out of the way of the falling sword and run towards Blaze, ready to thrust the sword into his belly- and his sword was elsewhere.

Blaze was caught through the stomache. His eyes went wide, mouth gasped open. He took a few deep breaths then coughed up blood. "Good shot." He coughed. He pulled backwards off the blade. He knelt down. "So you are better than I thought." He coughed some more up before steadying himself. "In my first life I would have been seriously injured by that." He stood erect. "So I can't play any games with you." He held his stomache as the sword returned to his free hand. "So while this heals its my turn." Blaze took a few intentionally missed swings near her head. Then one sideways at her sword directly, an attempt to disarm her.

Molly was surprised that it actually hit him. She pulled the sword out of his gut smoothly but wasn't put off by the blood. She wasn't shocked like the first time she sliced someone while attending this school. As he distracted her and then went to dissarm her, she had been paying attention to his moves, and nearly had caught a good grip on the sword to keep it, but instead it went flying a few feet off. Molly cursed inwardly and prepared to dodge any attacks coming at her and slowly began moving back towards her sword. The fire was at her fingertips again...

Blaze smirked. "And I don't expect you to learn this one, it takes more than a mortal life to master." Blaze ignited then vanished. Fire appeared by her sword and he replaced the fire. "Teleportation through fire. The most advanced technique I have." He picked up the sword. "Hmm, a katana, I remember when this one was solely a katana." He dual wielded his massive broadsword and her katana. "Can you work without these?"

Molly was worried for her Katana, so he walked over casually and unclipped her sheith, handing it to him, "Yes. However, I'd prefer it didn't get scratched by the rough rocks of this mountain. She opened a small door in the circle by letting two of the flames around them die down. She gestured to him to put the swords just outside so that niether of them would cheat. She then adjusted her footing and let small tongues of flames lick up her hands. Her power was more leaking out now, and she couldn't really help it. Oh well, she thought, It won't change anything..

Blaze placed the katana in the shieth. He placed them outside and stepped back in. He observed the flames. "Perfect." His hands turned into what seemed to be blades of fire. Blaze walked toward her. "So much fire around us, I wonder where I will appear." He vanished in an inferno again. He reappeared behind her out of the firey wall. He pointed the fire directly at her neck. "Check."

Molly formed similar blades sprouting from her own hands. She felt the fire at the back of her neck and intentionally dropped down, caught herself with one hand, her right hand fire-blade over to knock his fire-blade away and it twirled around as you might see in fencing. She let that blade go to grab his wrist, then twisted her body weight to allow herself to use the hand previously holding her up, probably knocking him down in the same movement she used her left hand-fireblade to tackle his already-weakened point at his stomach. -And just because it was fire doesn't mean it wasn't solid anyway. "check."

Blaze smirked he grabbed the fireblade with his barehand. "I made this stuff, remember?" He then grabbed her arm with the other hand and flipped her over. He used the chance to back up and move away. "You know I gotta say, you are pretty good. The most skilled mortal I have ever faught. And I wish you weren't mortal so I could go all out."

Molly got herself up off the ground when he moved away, "Thank you, Sir Blaze, Sir." She said with an air of a footsoldier. It was simply how she had gotten used to calling her superiors. She watched him, wondering if they were going to fight again perhaps.

Blaze wondered. "You know, I'm gonna try something." Fire lifted him off the ground. He breathed some onto the ground near Molly. It began to take the shape of a lion. One paw seemed to be all claws. "Sweet, okay, so this is a small version of what I am outside my human confidement. Try fighting this." The lion roared which sounded like a firey explosion. He lept into the air and began walking on floating tiles of fire, stalking her, waiting for a moment to strike.

Molly eyed the Lion, surveying it for weak points. She noticed that only one paw seemed to have claws, but that could just be the angle. She circled it the way it circled her. "Am I allowed my Sword, sir?" She asked Blaze quickly, letting her flames take over most of her arms like long gloves...
