Within

Fire, the heat of it was a base energy, physical, but deeper than that was the energy that made it. Fire was a consuming energy, born of two things, what it was consuming, and what drove it, which was air. Fire could not exhist without the cooperation of air, and while Fire was it's own element, ultimately, it's exhistance was dictated by the free and fleet element of air. To call fire, you called both elements to service, it required concentration, discipline. The elements did not serve mindlessly, one earned their service, there had to be humility and gratitude, there had to be a nobility of purpose, otherwise, in the midst of a time when their pressence was most needed, you could call and nothing would come. Discipline, an inner calm in order to maintain a link to the elements, for a chaotic mind could not stay open to the subtleties of the elemental communication.
"You're an ASS." The blood elf quiped in an irritated tone as an explosion of diseased destruction blew her hair back. "You're an Idiot" The warrior battling the large undead beast snapped back. Kissaka closed her eyes, releasing a massive ball of molten power from her hands into the undead creature they were fighting and trying with immense effort to maintain her focus and calm and link to the elements she needed while Vereno argued with the mercenary they had hired to assist them in their probe into Shadowfang Keep. The blood elf and the orc had disliked each other from the moment they met, Kissaka, Dominon and Kesner had exchanged concerned glances after the first time the occupants of Shadowfang had driven them out while the pair had clashed. It didn't happen often that they were pushed out of an objective, they were well experienced, and knew too well how to fight the scourge, the two Death Knights even more knowledgable than the young Shaman.

Some time later Kissaka eyed Vereno and shook her head with a smile, sitting heavily in the decayed kitchen of the keep where the mercenary had finally left them. "You have such a way with people sometimes Vereno." She chuckled. Vereno shrugged, still miffed "He was a jerk." Kesner chuckled nearby "Well, yeah, a skilled jerk, but yeah. Better Dooku help us anyway, I wasn't sure about that fellows loyalties." The Goblin was cleaning his mace, they would wait for Dominon to return with Dooku, the Druid was better experienced than the mercenary, and a part of their guild. It would be better to have the sort of trust and common experience the guild shared in this probe.

 "Better this way" Dominons voice carried into them as he and Dooku strode into the kitchen "Now maybe you can concentrate and keep us alive, your healing was....um....spotty there, hopefully you will heal this frontman?" Dooku raised a brow at Vereno who grinned "I would never deny healing to a frontman." They all exchanged glances over the blood left by the mercenary, the air changed for a moment, and where a huge Tauren had stood, a massive black bear now gazed at Vereno. "Besides, " Vereno smiled "I think Dooku would eat me if I didn't keep him healthy."
