After half an hour, I arrived at the Department and parked in the parking lot. And then after turning off my car a grey Audi RS6 came to my driver-side door and parked. While leaving my car I saw the Assistant Chief, Emily Jefferson stood out of the car and looked straight at me. She smiled and waved at me, her long blond straight hair, her 5ft10 frame held her lean build, and fair white skin, and her Shappires blinked at me.
"Alex! How are you this morning?" This is my Chief Assistant who through the years after today was always at the Department whenever I am. Her strong accent was able to represent her Swedish heritage.
"Good morning, Emily. I'm fine and you?" I responded, and she responded with a nod. I walked to my trunk grabbed my bag and closed the trunk. I begin to walk toward the Department and after a moment Emily walks right next to me and we just begin talking about different things.
I won't lie, it's uncomfortable trying to continue life like I haven't lived for 24 years. Looking around for an old colleague of mine, I see him through a huge glass wall that shows the huge Garage that has 2 Firetrucks and 2 of the 3 Fire-Ambulances. He is currently just talking with other Firefighters, suddenly an alarm blares and all the Firefighters start running into a room to the left side of the Garage. For them to then run out, full gear, and into the Firetrucks they then road off.
I start going to the staircase to go to the sleeping quarters but as my old life and now memories start to mellow out, I look back and can only think of one thing. I thought there weren't any fires this month.
At Miami Beach, a new group of Firefighters has arrived after almost a half-hour of driving. They arrived at the scene of the fire, which was already spread across an entire block. The reason multiple departments had to be called into the fire is that no matter what they did, the fire grew.
On Alexander's side he and the department, are watching everything on the news where the news helicopter is above the scene. Everyone was looking at the screen with worry and fear, however, if you looked more intently then you'd realize that Alexander was looking a bit out of focus.

He saw this window in front of him with confusion and fear. He looked around and just thought. How on earth am I supposed to do that? Because one he's at work and two he can't fight. After a few moments of thinking, they got a radio call from the Lieutenant on the field.
"Lieutenant Joeseph on, we need all support from the Department. Other Departments have also called back up. Over." The Fire Chief who had stayed also picked up the radio.
"Fire Chief Michael on, we'll get geared and we'll take the last fire ambulance and ride off. Over" Answering him back we all gear up and squeeze into the last fire ambulance. We started our drive to Miami Beach however, we kept on meeting traffic from the people who evacuated. Half an hour in and we are a bit more than half the distance away and soon realize that after this point we are on our feet because the police have set a parameter. We had tried to convince them to let us through however, they told us it was littered with crashed cars and more so we wouldn't make a mile in a car. Hearing this Fire Chief Michael smacked the Ambulance, we looked around and saw some other Fire Departments also beginning to jog past the barrier. We grabbed what would be useful and started jogging too.
However, I soon realized my pace was faster than the others and my stamina was not decreasing at all. I looked back at my Department and tried to speak but was interrupted.
"Yeah go ahead, just don't kill yourself!" The Fire Chief knew what I was going to ask. But it was also stupid to let me go alone. However, for me it allowed me to know what the f*ck is going on.
Picking up speed Alexander started to run at his fastest, which to everyone made him seem like a cheetah without a speed cap. He was leaping, vaulting, and climbing obstacles so fast that the Departments that had arrived earlier and were still running were lapped and left confused.
Running was not taxing even though I carried so much gear, but I soon realized that I could match a car reaching 80mph however unlike them I could change directions, slow down, and accelerate faster than they could. After a dozen minutes, I arrived at the scene, or well where my Department was taking the scene from which was from the North of this fire.
"Engineer Alexander here!" I screamed from behind them, and as some turned to look at me an explosion happened where the fire was effectively knocking them out with likely concussions. Before I could reach them, the most mentally psychotic laughter came from the fire, a goat-legged man walked out of the fire. He walked out and stared at my Department, before looking at me in the eyes.
"Oh! So they sent you?!" He said this not scared at all. My hands shook as I dropped everything and picked up my Fireman's Axe. He looked at my shaking hands and then stared into my eyes, he looked up put a hand on his face, and started laughing again. His laughing made me shake even more. The f*ck am I supposed to do?!
"They sent a coward!" He said looking back at me, he placed his palm facing me and shouted.
"Great Fire!" Suddenly a fireball the size of a baseball flew at me and grew to the size of a 3 story building as it hit me.
"GAH!" Alexander screamed being launched back into a concrete wall, he felt so much pain he couldn't describe it. He thought, do I die here? But then he sees at the corner of his eye this goat man burning the captain of the team to ashes. Which suddenly woke him up into a sprint. He shoulder-bashed the goat man and he was shoved into the building behind him.
Alexander felt the adrenaline coursing through his body, he could only think why that attack was so effective. Until he saw the goat man stand he looked very bruised but, why?
[Notice you have discovered a Mage, information shall be sent.

Seeing this his eyes widened, and his thoughts raced after each other until a conclusion came. I just need to beat the shit out of this guy.
With misplaced but necessary confidence, he rushed at the goat man before he could start a spell and socked the guy so hard that his head swung back with his nose broken.
"Aghh!" Was all the Goat could scream, he raised his hand before Alexander reached him.
"Flame!" Suddenly a burst of fire shot out hitting Alexander.
But Alexander's hand came out of the fire grabbing the Goats wrist and then proceeded to use all his speed and strength into his leg, causing his leg to smash the Goat's stomach. The Goat's blood vomited out of his mouth and slumped over his leg.
Alexander was scarred and burnt, leaving no moment untouched, placing his leg down he grabbed the goat's neck with his right hand and with his left hand still on his wrist, tossed the Goat over him. He smacked the ground hard and Alexander began smashing his head in, leaving blood trails stuck to his right hand.
Until the Goat was dead.
