Go Forth And Burn

"And so I come to you two, who asked nothing and were willing to die for me, which you should, but it was brought to my attention I've relied on sins and a particularly annoyingly self interested family for the majority of my conflict resolution, and that's probably not for the best for me." The Fire God wasn't great at explaining things, then again she'd never had to in the past. She just did things and the universe dealt with the consequences.

"What would you have of us?" Adri spoke for Peter, which seemed about right since Peter was still dumbstruck by the actual Fire God resurrecting them and then conversing with them.

"I want you to be my voice, and my voice is filled with rage right now. For too long my people have been hunted, ever since the red war I've been silent, working in the shadows, no longer. You will be my champions." She waved her hand and they were suited in armor of old, it was light almost like it wasn't there, but still sung with power. At the same time both Peter and Adri felt infused with power, neither one had any natural magical ability, but now they felt like they could do all kinds of things.

The fire god looked at Adri and handed her a sword and shield, "You shall be my sword and shield, both defense and offense, shield those who need protection, smite those who offend." She then turned toward Peter and gave him a hammer that was almost the size of him, "And you shall be my hammer, the world is full of nails and you shall smash them, but at the same time, hammers are constructive, so you'll have the power to heal as fire does, burning away the infection." They both nodded at her choices.

"Where shall your voice first go?" Adri felt alive more than ever, not just the power of her god, but the power of devine purpose.

"Your enemies came here in a small craft, you can take that to their larger craft and deal with them, this organization has opposed me and mine for too long, I have allowed their bullshit for long enough. Bring them low, but only use the weapons I have given you, my voice must be clear, my purpose direct."

"Yes my lord." They answered in unison and made their way to the shuttle waiting outside. Once inside Adri sat at the controls and turned to Peter.

"So can you fly a shuttle?"

"No."

"Crap." So it was a bit of a rough start for the Voice of The Fire God.
