^^^ Remember Jeon Woong from YG Silver Boys? In case you didn't know, he's debuting with BNM boys (Youngmin, Donghyun, Woojin and Daewhi). I don't even know what to do anymore since Donghyun is my MXM bias, Woojin was my Wanna One bias, and Woong was my Silver Boys bias... ^^^

"Let's try this again," Aidan sighed, dragging Magma to Bam. The poor fire fox was still offended by Rose's words and didn't wish to join them but had to.

Bam, too, was not ecstatic about the situation but since Rose pressed on, he decided to give it one last chance.

"Please do not melt me," the Icicle told Magma quickly as he approached him.

The fire fox grumbled but complied nonetheless.

"Give him a command," Aidan told Bam.

"Uhm... Magma, sit."

The fire fox continued to stand over him, growling slightly.

"Magma, sit," Bam tried again but, still, to no avail. "Sit!"

Magma growled.

"Use the treats," Rose advised. "Give him the blue ones when he does not listen and the red ones when he does."

"Magma, sit," Bam tried again, taking her advice and giving him a blue treat when he, once again, failed to listen.

The fire fox yelped when he chewer the treat and spat it out, whimpering a bit after before glancing up at Bam in utter fury. He growled.

"G-good b-boy," the Icicle stuttered, taking multiple steps back. "Magma, sit." Nothing. "Sit." The fox started to approach, ready to pounce. "Sit, Magma, sit."

"Use force," Aidan commanders, sensing danger. "Magma, sit."

The fire fox didn't even listen to his own master.

"Magma, sit!" Bam tried again, taking a few more steps back until his back hit the walls of the kennel. "Oh gosh."

Magma growled lowly.

The Icicle closed his eyes momentarily, trying to figure out what to do. A long, narrow smirk was finally printed on his face once it occured to him. He was an Icicle. It was a Flame. He could use that to his advantage.

It took a lot of concentration but eventually he managed to make a snow ball out of thin air. It wasn't too big but it was enough to make one of Bam's specialities: an ice snake.

The creature fell limply to the ground before jumping into life. It slithered its way along the ground as it hunted Magma down. Finding it lame attempt, the fire fox stepped on it but instead of the snake disintegrating into snow, it turning into multiple mini snakes that climbed up his body.

The snakes went through his eyes, nostrils and mouth, biting and squeezing at Magma's organs, not enough to kill him but to do damage, before leaving his body the same way and returning to Bam.

"Magma, sit," Bam tried once more, with so much force the kennel practically shook.

Feeling weak from the damage of the snakes, Magma complied.

The Icicle grinned, giving the fox a red treat before stroking him slightly.

"Magma, lie down."

The fox did just that.

"Magma, roll over."

He complied.

"And lastly, Magma, play dead."

And he did.

Bam grinned widely before turning to meet Rose's confused gaze.

"I could get used to this," he told her. "I really could."

***

"That was phenomenal," Rose blurted as the walked towards the palace after his lesson. Those were the first words she had uttered since watching Bam's trick, which had left her dumbfounded for over an hour.

"That old trick?" He scoffed dramatically. "That was nothing."

"Nothing? You've got to be kidding me! That was not nothing. I've never seen anything like it! You made snow out of nowhere then made a snake out of it. I've never seen anyone do such! That was... To say the least, impressive."

Bam blushed slightly at her complement before brushing it off.

"You're an Embidan, I'm sure you can you much more than some silly old snake trick."

"I can't make fire from thin air."

"The only reason I could do that is because there's water vapour in air and if I cool it down enough, I can make snow and ice out of it. I bet creating fire is a lot more complex."

"It is... And much more dangerous, I would imagine. But it is really fun. Apparently, in the past, people would use this rough object called wood to make it."

"Wood? What that?"

"A part of a tree, I suppose. I don't really know."

"I've seen many trees in my life, but I've never heard of wood."

"Not a fire or ice tree. A proper tree. Like the ones Eden would make."

"Oh, I've never seen those ones."

"Me neither but I'd love to."

"Same-" Bam stopped halfway through his sentence, even halting his walking. "Who's that?"

"Huh?" Rose asked, glancing around until she saw a little silhouette of a person, sitting right at the border, seeming as though whoever it was was about to jump into the void.

"That doesn't seem good," he muttered as he began to run towards the person, Rose following close behind.

From behind, the person was obviously male. He had short, dark hair and a light blue hoodie with deep blue jeans. A pair of blue sneakers covered his feet and her wore a silver necklace.

In front of him was an object Rose couldn't quite make out as he was hunched over it.

"Excuse me," Bam called. "What are you doing there? Who are you?"

The boy glanced at Bam and he gasped.

"Chan!" Rose uttered. "You're... Blue."

The boy glanced down at his body before chuckling.

"It appears I am. Fascinating."

"Why?" Bam stuttered out. "Why are you blue?"

"Well I needed to to keep this rebel alive. Without water, it would have withered away," he beamed, leaning back so that the both of them could see the object in front of him.

It was a sapling, sprouting out of the ground with a patch of lush green grass bordering it.

"What is it?" Bam asked.

"A tree," Chan replied happily. "Eden's tree. Beautiful, isn't she?"

"Why is 'she' here? Why is there a tree in the Fire Kingdom?"

Chan simply chuckled to himself, seeming more insane than he was when he awoke. In fact, ever since he awoke he'd been acting strange, and it was, quite frankly, worrying.

"There's only one reason for this. Welcome to the beginning of the end."
