The god paid no heed to my apology, rather he anchored his focus to sap the heat energy gradually eating up the kitchen structure.
In an instant wave, the flash and flickers of fire hung over the walls and engulfing the hearth died off. Tthe smoke also totally dissipated.
Only then did I take notice of his lower body which hadn't taken their real shape yet, and in place of them were slender poles and a mound of blazing fire, seemingly without burning capabilities, because his garment remained unharmed despite.
With astonished eyes the round of saucepans, I watched the fire shrink into the floor beneath, to gradually reveal garment cloaked legs in sleek ankle boots.
I was lost in the sight and unknowingly mumbled, "Fascinating."
Rubbing the wrist which his strangely cold palm had grabbed on earlier, I lifted my head to ask a question puzzling my excited mind; "The hearth? You emerged from it, isn't it?"
