Bad decision is like, my middle name [Kori]

Being bored was dangerous. At least, it was when you were Caelestis and boredom drove you to do basically whatever it took to entertain yourself. This latest stunt she was pulling was a doozie though, and not really all that well thought out, but hey, she wasn't bored anymore so sue her.

Really, it took some planning though and she was proud. After she'd passed by the no longer occupied volcano, well, it would be impossible not to investigate so she'd done that immediately after heading back towards Abaven from the Maw. Unfortunately the detour had distracted her quite a bit and she'd ended up not going back home. See, there was this one spot, this one vent where lava bubbled up within reach of the surface. Soon as she saw the liquid fire lazily crawling along, it's heat almost too much to stand... Well, who wouldn't wanna take some of that shit? First she got a stick, not just any stick though. Some care went into picking one that was long and strong enough. She didn't want it to burn up right away, and she sure didn't wanna have to get close to the lava to where her fur might catch on fire. She chose a somewhat green branch that'd been ripped out of a tree, hoping that if it was a little green then maybe the whole thing wouldn't burn up too fast.

But then she'd thought, what if she needed to put it down? Well that was simple enough, she just had to uh... Chew one end to a point, so she could stab it in the ground! Man, that led to a few good splinters in her cheek, which was not fun, but it was all gonna be worth it. After that, she'd headed on over to the lava and sure enough got the stick to catch fire. Now, she was merrily carrying it along and contemplating what one does with a stick on fire. Seemed like there was fun to be had, disasters to create. Climbing up a forested slope back towards the maw, she was hoping to find a good vantage point from which she could decide where to take her fire stick. The flames were warm against the side of her face, but they weren't climbing it yet. Actually, she was pretty worried it was going to go out and that she'd have to go back and relight it...
