Ember can't say about Garble that he doesn't follow orders, or that he lacks determination. Lately she's been taking advantage of this by assigning him physically demanding jobs. While this does keep the seemingly bottomless pit of energy busy, Ember knows that Garble is becoming increasingly annoyed with how much she's working him compared to the other dragons.
Just when she decides to give him a break, she realizes it is nearly time for the biannual controlled forest fire on the outskirts of the Dragon Lands.

On a sizable island near the eastern border there is a forest of hardy trees that grow very quickly and produce a highly flammable oil. Every two years the dragons must burn a large section to keep troublesome phoenixes from roosting there.
When Ember summons Garble again, he is very irritated. His mood changes quickly when he learns what Ember wants from him, though.

"Wait, you want me to fly around and burn trees that explode when they're on fire?"
"Think you're up to it?"
"Uh, YEAH!"
