The fire was a bit of a surprise, but not as much as the twisted creature that started to come into view as it was enwreathed in flame. He took a step backwards, through the door, making sure he was still directly between whatever monstrosity this was and the princesses.

[i][color=#008b8b]Dangerous,[/color][/i] he would have said, if it hadn't immediately sprung for the princesses behind him. But for a single step backwards he stood his ground, even as Renar sprung into action, shoving the princesses aside and lunging for the creature's throat. [i][color=#008b8b]Good. At least if it goes straight through me they aren't there for it to land on.[/color][/i] Not that Fionn was content to be merely a bodily shield and nothing more.
