Fire, fire was everywhere. The entire warehouse serene and business like in the moment exploded with fire and destruction. People were running screaming everywhere, some on fire, some just running from the smoke and flames, others trying to steal things in the mayhem. But mayhem and fire was everywhere. I was among the wreckage burning with glee I hadn't felt since I'd given in to corruption. The men with guns had run away, Ned ran with them, thankfully he was apprehended while fleeing the fire (the police were alerted when suddenly a building went up in flames, he was later convicted on not properly paying his property taxes you have to love a good tax conviction).
All of that didn't matter to me though, I was burning. I was using the flame from the fire to fan other flames and causing destruction wide spread across the entire warehouse. I had become one with the flame, letting it into myself and bathing in it (not literally but I came pretty close). I couldn't help myself, I guess because for so long I'd let myself simply exist as a necromancer, as someone who kept things in check, I had freed myself and in that I destroyed. I destroyed everything. Chandler would later complain I made it harder to go after Ned because I destroyed all the evidence but to hear those complaints I had to stop burning and I didn't do that for a time.
I actually left the warehouse partially enclosed in flame and just walked off down the street. No one would come near the burning man as he just strolled around watching the world through my world of flame. I probably came close to corrupting myself, but I exhalted in the flame. When I finally extinguished it was near the river. I sat there naked as the day is long just relaxing in the post fire serenity of it, like sex only without the messyness.
"I always hate that when I think I've got you, you do something like this and survive." Morley ruined my moment of serenity, because that's what he does he ruins things. He's a ruiner. I know I say this after I literally burned an entire building down because I was moderately mad. Look I'm a hypocrite you know this!
