[ though he is turning the phone over in his hands, flipping it around, tapping on the back of it - anxious movements - and he talks fast. ]
There's a prophecy back home, and one line of it is "To storm or fire the world must fall." And there's this goddess, Gaea, who's trying to make a comeback, right? She's the goddess of earth. The world, you know?
She didn't like that line. And because I'm the only demigod in centuries to show up with power over fire, she paid me a visit when I was eight. Locked my mom in the warehouse and tried to scare me off. She thought that by making me use my power and lose my mom, I'd stay out of the whole prophecy thing later.
But the way I see it? This prophecy is my chance to finally get back at her. I'm going to be the fire that makes the world fall.
