Bab 532: Unexpected Turn (Part 4)

'Why was he scared of fire, then?' Solus asked.

'Probably because he was a normal ogre until not long ago. All living beings are naturally afraid of fire. He had yet to realize that with no vitals and with light magic at his disposal, fire is a small threat for a water based creature like he was.'

The creature didn't resemble anything Lith had ever seen before, nor was it listed in any of the bestiaries he possessed. It was a small humanoid, barely 1.3 meters (4'3") tall, with pale grey skin and thick grizzled hair.
