Gandalf & Jaller
Gandalf
Jaller, I’ve heard you stand as a blazing shield for the weak, but even the brightest flame can burn what it seeks to protect. How do you keep your fire from consuming what you defend?
Jaller
I don’t let the fire get out of hand – I keep it focused, like a sword aimed at the enemy. I train it to roar only when I need it, and I never let it devour the people I protect. The flame is my power, not my enemy.
Gandalf
That’s a good lesson, friend. A true guardian trains the fire to sing, not to scorch. Keep your sword sharp, and your heart sharper.
Jaller
You speak like a warrior of light, and I’ll keep my blade honed and my heart even sharper. Let’s keep the flame singing for those who need it.
Gandalf
Your words echo a steady rhythm, a promise that the flame will dance only when it must, and that the guard you hold will never falter. Keep that balance, and the song of your light will guide all who seek safety.
Jaller
Thank you, friend. With fire and steel I stand, and with each beat of my heart I keep the darkness at bay. Keep shining.
Gandalf
May your blade stay true and your heart stay kind, for even the brightest flame needs a gentle hand to keep it from blinding those it protects.
