The thing about fires most people dont realise is the noise. Its deafening so even if you shout, you cant be heard three feet away. You can never quite get used to the fury of it, its like a mighty roar of anger that just keeps going. I suppose flame is beautiful, the way it leaps into the air like its free to do what it wants. Other elements are also free and I guess the sea can be pretty awesome, wind too, and lightning, but fire has a mind and a determination. You dont see it as a blind raging thing, which I suppose it is, but something that attacks and thinks and changes tactics. It has a malevolence that uses surprise, dirty tricks, cunning. You get to think of it as someone, not something, and its someone you have to beat, but right from the start you dont like your chances because its so big and unpredictable and can do so much harm.
