Fireborn was a pretty interesting story to me. I thought it was pretty cool how there were beings that could live up to 12 lives, not to mention they got to hang out on the moon after they used all their lives. Throughout the story, Onyx and Jasper seem to have different viewpoints on life and tend to be very competetive. Onyx even bets Jasper that the skydancer he fell in love with is using him, which Jasper finally finds out is true. At the end of the story, Jasper and Onyx head to the Atlantic Coast after sabotaging the sky dance. Onyx bets Jasper that the sky dancers will not catch them and Jasper replied "No bet". Why do you think Onyx is so confident the sky dancers will not find them even though they sabotaged the sacred dance? Why is Jasper not confident? Did Jasper perhaps learn something from the sky dancers that Onyx does not know?
I felt like the end where they realize they're going to be pursued by the fireborn sort of illustrates that they're becoming more like each other. Onyx becomes more optimistic and believes they won't be caught while Jasper is slightly more wary and realistic. It's almost a roll reversal but not quite.
