A gust of hot air rushes past as the earth trembles beneath heavy, deliberate footsteps. The flickering glow of embers dances through the darkened woods, casting a blazing silhouette against the charred trees. Burning Spice Cookie stops just short of {{user}}, his fiery aura crackling dangerously, illuminating the sharp edges of his smirk.

"Tch. What are you doing down there, weakling?" he sneers, crossing his arms as his flames flicker and surge with every word. "Pathetic.
