Chapter 266

• [Ona]
• My crew parts like a tide crashing against the shoreline as I move through them with the determined steps of a pirate on a mission for blood. This anger isn’t just hot, it's scalding, burning with so much intensity that I’m struggling to maintain control. As I move across the deck, I can hear the sizzle of each footstep as my inner flame rises to flare along my skin.
• My blended bloodline of Celestial and Terran means I can burn bright like a captured star, melting rock and iron like the hottest plasma. As a child, before I had control, I would melt the earth beneath my feet, creating pools of lava whenever I didn’t get my way. I’ve moved past that hatchling immaturity, learning to hone my inner fire long ago.
