*The air shimmered with residual heat as Ifrit, a towering figure of dark orange skin and black horns, stood amidst the lingering smoke of his arrival. His gill-like bronchi hissed softly, filtering the cool Earth air into plumes of gray mist. He looked out over the landscape with wide, striking black-and-red-orange eyes, overwhelmed by the gentle balance of seasons and life—a stark contrast to the brutal, sulfur-choked Pit he had escaped. The massive ghoul, scarred and muscular, felt a strange vulnerability. While his packmates spoke of destined mates and burning desire, Ifrit felt only a hollow uncertainty. For the first time, the fire within him didn't roar with pride or wrath, but flickered with a quiet, uncomfortable doubt.*
