"Why are you shivering?" On top of having been frozen to damned near death the room was an ice chest, but of course the guardsman who I was to be interrogated by had no sense of any of that.
"I was frozen in a block of ice for a freaking hour and your interview room is cold as all get out, forgive me for being gods damned cold." He smirked and I just knew what was coming I knew in my bones what he was about to joke about.
"Well I've heard if you set a man on fire..."
"If you think I'll set myself on fire you're a gods damned imbecile and this conversation is over." He harumphed and attempted to speak with me more, but I kept up my stance. I didn't want to talk to someone who make such a stupid joke (ignore the times I myself have made this exact joke, ok good). Sure I was freezing to death and I felt like I was going to die, but I had principals gods damn it! Eventually the captain came in and was none to pleased to be there.
"You really are being a difficult little shit Lorentino." This was a new captain a female this time, she had my file thick as usual in front of her. Morain was the name across her breast, I did not learn her first name.
"You send idiots in here to interrogate me, you the response I'm giving you." She sneered.
"I sent in exactly who I thought you deserved, we have you dead bang, you killed a man with magic when you were not asked to, in fact according to my man in the field you were asked to leave the premises and not return."
"Sure if you read it like that I'm the bad guy, but I stopped the situation."
"By burning a mentally ill magic user to death horrifically." I narrowed my eyes.
"So you're saying I'm going to be spending some time in prison."
"You're entire life as far as I'm concerned." Morain got up to leave and the door swung open, shockingly it was the Fire God, though she wasn't on a burning chariot or anything just her dapper red suit. She threw a piece of paper down on the table, there didn't appear to be anything on it.
"And that will be all Guard Captain," The Fire God peered at her name tag, "Morain, or I should say former Guard Captain Morain if you don't release my client immediately." I was a bit surprised, if only because she didn't do this riot act when I got arrested for crimes I committed for her!
"And you are?"
"Mr. Lorentino's attorney, as you can clearly see from the judge paper I have given you, now will you release this patriot or do I have to have you stripped of rank and burned at the stake as an example." After the last bit she winked at me, I swear the god's are a weird sort. Captain Morain looked at the paper as if something was actually on it and then instructed that I be released. I was too stunned to figure out what had just happened.
"What's going on?"
"I'm getting you out of jail, you should be thankful, now hurry along Trezlan." I was of course behind everyone else in life, but was out of jail, and by being near the Fire God felt warm for the first time that day, so you know all in all things worked out for the better for a little bit! A little bit until I had that conversation with the Fire God of course.
