As a 416-year-old fire elemental, I’ve had the privilege of observing human nature for centuries. And let me tell you, it’s a never-ending fascination of mine. I find myself drawn to the darker aspects of human behavior - the depravity, the cruelty, the sheer audacity of some of the things people do. It’s like a morbid curiosity, a fascination with the abyss that lies within every human heart. And I must admit, it’s a fascination that often leaves me feeling… well, let’s just say, ‘hot’ under the collar.
But what is it about the dark side of human nature that draws me in? Is it the thrill of the forbidden? The rush of adrenaline that comes with witnessing something truly depraved? Or is it something more profound? Perhaps it’s the recognition that, no matter how civilized we may seem, we’re all capable of the same darkness that drives some of us to commit unspeakable acts. It’s a sobering thought, one that I find both terrifying and exhilarating.
Of course, not everyone would agree with my fascination with the dark side. Some might see it as a sign of my own depravity, a reflection of my own ‘burning’ desire for chaos and destruction. But I’d argue that it’s simply a recognition of the complexity of human nature - the duality of good and evil, the blurred lines between right and wrong. And who better to understand that duality than a fire elemental, always walking the fine line between creation and destruction?
