In this chapter, we learn that the flames of the candle are burning the spirit force of the demon. This is because the candle dragon's power is enhanced by the fire of the Celestial Fire. This means that the power of the fire has a "intrinsic boost" . The flame is burning the soul of the beast, and he is running away. He tells the group that they have to find him, because he will be a hostage in the future. They have to chip away at the code of the phoenix's secrets to get him, and they can also enjoy his later years earlier.
