Chapter 2 - Ember

Ember didn't know what to do, when it looked at it's siblings they were all busy doing something. It wasn't like the past when they all played together, chasing after each other in circles.

No, now everything changed when the world had gotten bigger. Terra had decided she wanted to create large piles of dirt and stone, even going so far as to identify herself as a her.

Gale was slightly less busy but even still he didn't want to play with me anymore. He was much more interested in playing with the rocks Terra left behind, making them crash into each other.

Luna was the only one who still played with me, she would make large clumps of frozen water, ice she called it, and I'd try to burn them in one shot.

But even I was started to get a little bored, I'm starting to loom at things differently, look at myself differently. I wasn't fine being an it anymore, I started to see myself as a him, and I wanted to do much more then to melt ice with Luna.

So I started brainstorming, what could I do, and I finally thought of something. It was the biggest and best idea i could come up with, I wanted to make the LARGEST ball of fire.

No, not like the others, they'd always go out after a few days, i wanted this one to burn forever! Or at least WAY longer then any I had made before.

But it would be a big project, and I wouldn't be able to play with Luna as much, I hope she doesn't get mad at me.

I was pretty sure I had the biggest smile, oh right we don't have mouths. Well I was radiating high levels of happiness.

It took a long time but I had finally done it, I had created a large ball of fire that stayed burning even after a week! All my other fires burned out a day or two after.

The trick was to use one of the many asteroids, as Terra started calling them, as the core. I did have to come back every so often to resupply it but so far its better then anything i made before.

Terra didn't seem to mind, in fact she even got very inspired and made a specific asteroid just for my star. Her asteroids were everywhere anyways, at least Gale had a lot of toys to play with.

But Luna wasn't so happy, some days I would catch her staring but whenever I tried to talk to her she would freeze me in a large block of ice and run away.

I think i hurt her feelings.
