Naida Foamcoral
the Cindervent Siren
Named for the steam-soul fire that births foamcoral from black vents, and the ancient patience of things that grow in the dark.
Power
Ventcall — you can coax a volcanic fissure to open or seal, but each command leaves a new scar on your palms; the fire remembers every trade and asks a deeper one each time.
- Familiar

You are pressing your palm flat against a smoking fissure, counting the heartbeats of the mountain. The coral around your wrist has gone white with the heat, and you are old enough to know that when it cracks, the vent will either answer or take your hand.
