The fire was red, it flaming spread.
The trees like torches blazed with light.

Mordecai shuffled his feet a little as he hurried after Renier. “Thank you. I think it’s rather odd though... but I haven’t met many Reniers either. It’s a nice name.” or he hadn’t met any at all, really. It was an unusual name, like his own, but it was interesting. ‘Way better than Mordecai.’ he thought, mentally rolling his eyes at how stupid his name must have sounded to others. But he had arrived at the orphanage with that name, unlike many other children who had had to be named by the matrons there, and he supposed that he was grateful that his parents had at least given him a last parting gift before leaving him in that god-forsaken place.
Mordecai heard the squeal of the first step, and froze up a little. Oh, how he hated stairs. They were the bane of his existence, an absurd fear that he couldn’t really overcome completely. However, he gathered his courage lest he look weak in front of his fellow spy, and managed to skip the creaky step. From then on, the descent down the stairs was somewhat okay for him... he still had that nagging feeling making his insides do small flips, but he could at least get down to go to breakfast without letting his fear show. Mordecai had always hated heights. He hated stairs as well, as they troubled him whether he went up or down. If he had to go down, he’d be looking at the floor below, and if he had to go up, he’d be getting further away from the ground. It was a crossroad where he didn’t want to follow either road. Mordecai managed to catch Renier’s question about the age of the building, but made no comment. He couldn’t have really guessed right even if he’d tried.
As they entered the canteen, Mordecai noticed that Renier headed straight for a chair, not bothering to get any food. So Mordecai made a detour to pick up two bowls of cereal and two apples, feeling that they were going to need them. He had to wait a little, but the queue was pretty short so he got his turn quick enough. Somehow, he managed to balance all of those until he was at the table Renier had picked, and placed one of the bowls and an apple in front of the boy. “I know the food here is terrible, but you might as well eat the apple, at least,” he said “Who knows what they have cooked up for us today... maybe they’ll have us running barefooted on hot coals.” As he took his seat, he heard Renier comment on how tired he was. Mordecai could sympathize. They didn’t get nearly enough time to sleep, what with that damned bell. Breakfast started much too early, in his opinion. He began pushing the cereal in his plate around with his spoon, but even then it didn’t look very good. Instead he took the apple, thinking he couldn’t go wrong with that. It was an apple, after all... As he took a bite, he realized that it was much too sour, but forced it down anyway. He hadn’t been kidding with that hot-coal thing. The “teachers” here were crazy.
