Editing The Baronet of Fire (section)

==History==

Jonah was a lawyer. Not a high-stakes criminal lawyer, but a small-scale but well-respected civil lawyer, the only one in town. He liked his work, especially as he had to fight his way out of a humble upbringing to get where he was, comfortable. Delilah was his childhood sweetheart, who was there waiting for him when he got back from law school. Their relationship was about as perfect as these things get in an imperfect world, and they were soon married, and soon after that, they had a daughter.

Jonah was happy, genuinely happy. He had no greater desire than to come back home from work and see the smiling faces of his wife and daughter. And he was, as these things go, a pretty good father and husband. Maybe he could've spent more time with the family and less time at work, but it's the price he paid for to provide a comfortable level of wealth for them.

And then Delilah was murdered, and the dream was nearly shattered. He was angry, and sad, but he was not a man to be easily broken, and so they grieved, and hated the murderer with all their hearts, but the now smaller family moved on. Until the murders piled up, and piled up high enough for the town to be erased from the face of the Earth and the shard of living Fire took him. And he knew, at that moment he knew that Delilah hadn't been a mere victim, she'd been a ritual sacrifice. And that's when he swore he'd make the one responsible pay. Somehow.
