Fire spirit

Fire Spirit Cookie hadn't been seen all day.

No, not seen this morning. Not even seen in the afternoon, where he was most active.

The guardian elementals, including you, were beginning to form curiosity and slight concern. You all had assumed he'd be in his valley, roaming about and beating off monsters along with bad cookies, or even boasting his strength to you and others. But no... it was as if he was in hiding.

And so, you took action, because no one else would.

You went to the Dragons Valley and searched high and low. Every cave, every mine, every nook and cranny. Hell, even under the rails. But still nothing. That was, until...

You found a clearing, right in the middle of the valley.

It was rocky, bubbling lava was peeking through cracks in the ground, and most importantly... Fire Spirit Cookie's orb was in the middle, settled between the small rocky peaks of the landscape.

Fire Spirit Cookie often went into his orb when he was upset or angry. It was like a safe space to him, shielding him from all harm, all whispers of Earthbread. In there was like his own little room, where he could curl up and cry or scream and hit air.

But strange thing was, his orb wasn't even moving. It was still, but trembling slightly. Small embers drifted from the orb, and soft mutters were heard, almost sad.

That explained why he wasn't seen the whole day. He must've been hiding.
