Ever since I settled down, almost two decades ago now, people have spoken of the Fire Thief. The theft of the World Fire. Of the shady figure who stole the Avatars of the World Fire’s most precious spirit, and locked it away, hid it from the Fires’ sights forever.
My grandchildren, eager to hear stories of the “old days” as they are, have oftentimes asked me to tell the story of the bad man who took the White Sun from the Fires.
Bad man, huh?
Funny.
But I suppose that was only to be expected, what with my son marrying a Fire and all.
Some of those evenings, when the grandkids have been nice enough and I don’t feel the scars from my many battles hurt like they do some days, I tell them of the story of the Fire Thief; which I heard, more than two decades ago, from an innkeeper, who had heard the story from his aunt, who had heard it from her sister, who in her turn had eavesdropped the story when working as a maid in Mag Ma Castle.
Of course, the story is hopelessly distorted and, unlike most of the stories you will hear these days, it’s not exaggerated.
Quite the opposite, actually.
But I see no point in telling my grandkids that now. Some day, they will have matured enough to hear what really happened during the tumultuous time of the Theft – but I don’t think they’ll believe me. I am one of the few still alive who knows what happens, and it terrifies me that I might one day wake up and simply not remember.
That one day, what really happened may be lost in the mists of time.
For every day that passes, the story grows more distant, fades into the shadow of memory.
That is why I have decided to write it down, and I can only hope that my knowledge of the runic language is still up-to-date.
Every day, I feel my memories fading, and with them, my life.
I don’t really care.
I am satisfied with what I have accomplished during my lifetime – I am a Wind, they would have said, a Wind – proud and never bending.
I have, had, two beautiful children – although they can hardly be called children any more, even by me. I have three wonderful grandkids – that I would simultaneously like to strangle for their insolent and disrespectful behavior. Cute little buggers.
But my memories fade, and with them one of the greatest secrets of all.
I will tell this one last story before I go to sleep.
I don’t think I will wake up again.
Let me tell you my story.
I am the Fire Thief.
Thoughts? Is it a decent enough intro? Or should I add or remove something?
Switch the last two lines imho

I agree with Jubi. Switching the last two lines around would make it flow a little better.

Three typical average kids, inside a haunted mansion.
Just by chance freed a ghost who made them Beetleborgs.
Frankenbeans:
"BEETLEBORGS!"
Background:
Big Bad Beetleborgs. Big Bad Beetleborgs.
Hey look now they're super heros, armed with super powers --
Mums:
"Cool."
Taken from a comic strip and now they're Beetleborgs.
Fangula:
"BEETLEBORGS!"
Background:
Big Bad Beetleborgs. Big Bad Beetleborgs.
Three typical average kids love to read their comic strips.
Wolfgang:
"Yeah."
Got their wish and they became Big Bad Beetleborgs.
Count Fangula:
"BEETLEBORGS!"
Background:
Big Bad Beetleborgs. Big Bad Beetleborgs.
Then new villains came along and blew away their powers.
Frankenbeans:
"Whoa!"
Beetleborgs were in a fix, and now have gone Metallix.
Background:
Beetleborgs Metallix.
Metallix.
Beetleborgs

Big, big, big. big, big, big, bad --
Big bad -- Big Bad Beetles!
Beetleborgs Metallix.
Metallix.
