A Pyro's Inferno
A/N: the name in this is a request of a freind that hadn't seen the name and wanted to so that explains the name.
Intro:
Hi my name his Philip and I am a pyro. Now before you get it wrong, I am not a pyro maniac. I am sane, mostly. And I don't go around burning things down just to watch them burn. I set fires yes, but I make sure they never hurt anyone or destroy anything important. It is the only thing that keeps me thinking straight. I grew up on the streets alone and homeless. I was dumped off at an orphanage but ran away after I was hit a few times. I figured living on the streets was better than there. So I grew up on the streets finding few friends besides animals and fire. The animals were the only kind things on those streets. And fire was the only thing I found that was calming and consistent.
When I look into fire I feel calm and happy. Without fire being around I am a guy with schizophrenia. With other people or in any situation without fire being present I can't think straight or function properly. I have always been told I need to get help and all that stuff. But when you're your homeless and living on the streets and can't keep a job for long, you can't pay for those things or that help. So here I stay. Looking into the fire of my barrel talking to you. Telling you of my past, why I act the way I do, and giving you an idea of what will happen next in my crazy life.
One night on my way home from work I saw something weird next to the box I sleep in. it was a swirling purple hole in the wall. It wasn't as calming as fire but it did seem to put me at ease. That was until there came a voice from the other side. It was a males voice. He had a snarky British accent as he spoke to me. "hello Phillip. I have a proposition for you. You can stay in this world where you don't fit in, or you can go to a new world. One where I can give you powers over the one thing you could only wish for. If you go through portal to this new world I promise you, you will have the power to control fire. create it, use it, all by using that mind of yours. So what do you say?"
Even with my mind not fully thinking straight without there being fire in my sight, I knew which choice to make. Stay here and keep on suffering or go to a world and get the power to control fire. maybe if I can control fire, I can gain control of my own mind! "I will go with you. What do I do?" the voice laughed happily and told me to just walk into the portal as he called it. that's when it grew from a small hole to one that I could fit through. So I did. Not thinking twice about it. not that it would have done me any good to try. And then I fell into a swirling pool of color.
And that's all I remember before blacking out.
