Fire Elemental

"You don't ask a fire why it burns, and if you did the answer would probably involve a lot of shouting, some sparks, and your eyebrows going missing. Best thing to do with a fire elemental? Keep it happy, keep it entertained, and for the love of everything flammable, don't let it get bored. Boredom, for a fire, tends to involve finding something, anything, to burn."

— A rather flammable person

Burn, baby, burn

Not born, but ignited, they spark into being in places where flames dance untamed; at the heart of volcanic eruptions, in the embers of forest fires, or within the crackling energy of a lightning strike. They are creatures of pure flame, their forms shifting and flickering like the fire itself.
They do not wear faces, but sometimes the flames curl and twist into something almost human. These shapes are fleeting, glimpsed in a moment and gone in the next, leaving behind only the impression of eyes that blaze with ancient understanding. To look into a fire elemental is to see hunger made manifest. They are not cruel, as cruelty requires intent, and elementals are beyond such mortal concepts. They burn because they must, because it is their nature, because the fire cannot exist without consuming. They neither hate nor love, but their flames devour all the same.
Unlike mortals, they are not bound by the constraints of a single form. Their shapes change with their moods, shifting from roaring infernos to quiet, flickering embers. Yet, they are always in motion, always alive with the ceaseless hunger of the fire.

Shit, the house is on fire

Legends claim fire elementals are fragments of a greater flame, a primordial inferno that burned at the dawn of creation. Some say they are the remnants of stars that fell to earth, their celestial heat trapped and given form. Others believe they are the wrath of the world itself, rising in flame to cleanse what it deems unworthy.
Fire elementals speak in a language of crackling embers and roaring infernos, a tongue that no human voice can imitate. Those who claim to understand them describe their words as both searing and sorrowful, as if the flames themselves mourn the destruction they wreak.
They are as fleeting as fire and as enduring as its spark. They cannot be tamed, though many have tried. To summon a fire elemental is to invite chaos; to bargain with one is to risk everything. And once called, a fire elemental does not forgive being caged. It burns with a memory longer than your time left may be, leaving ash where lessons must be learned.
