Blorthog Special Begins... NOW

Months after the wedding

The sun rises, shining through the window of your wooden cottage. You slowly wake, Blackfire's arms draped over you, her legs intertwined with yours under the covers. Even now, you still can't believe you two are actually married!

Flashfire scampers in from her room, smiling as wide as she can.

"HAAAPPYYY BLORRRTHOG!!!" she shouts.

Blackfire grumbles awake, yawning and stretching her arms and legs.

"Flashfire, I'm happy that you're happy," Blackfire says, "but do you have to be happy and loud??"

"But this'll be our first Blorthog as a family!" Flashfire points out. "My first Blorthog with my brother, and vice-versa, your first Blorthog with my brother, and vice-versa, and--"

"Flashfire, ok," you interrupt, "we get that all these 'firsts' are exciting, but we just woke up. Give me and Blackfire time to get going."

Flashfire complies, and leaves your room.

Slowly, you and Blackfire get out of the bed and get dressed in fresh clothing.

"She is right, though," Blackfire admits. "This'll be the first time in YEARS Starfire and I have had a Blorthog together. I remember our last one before we both left home. I feigned my happiness, so as not to upset mother. I wasn't happy because the rekmas had made me dislike my sister, it made me jealous that she was accepted by our parents' friends, that she was 'normal'." (NOTE: rekmas = 'the drifting apart', when friends start to no longer be friends)

You comfort Blackfire with a hug.

"It'll be okay this time," you tell her. "You defeated the rekmas, and are friends with your sister again. This time, the happiness will be real."

She smiles, and leads you out of your room. You see Flashfire is waiting.

"C'mon," she says, "I want to ge to Sister Starfire's so we can celebrate already!"

"Okay, okay," Blackfire says. "But what about breakfast? We can't celebrate our friendships on empty stomachs."

"We'll buy breakfast on the way," you say, "we just need to get going!"

The three of you take off from your wooden cottage in the Alps, and head East to Titans Tower.
