Flame Guardians
🔹 Role in the Story:
The Flame Guardians are the elemental spirits of Fire, appearing when Sterling and his friends approach the Volcano of Inner Strength. As gatekeepers of the Fire Trial, they symbolize both furnace-like intensity and forged transformation — guiding the children to confront their inner fears, anger, and raw willpower.
They serve not as enemies but as sacred initiators of a trial by fire.

🌋 Artistic & Animation Notes:
Their lava flow subtly reacts to the children’s emotions — flickers faster with fear, glows gold with courage
The fire they control is not chaotic — it’s rhythmic, ceremonial, ancient
Their bodies crackle and hiss gently, even in stillness
They never fully cool — always on the edge of eruption, but always in control
