Shot In The Dark

by straighttoneverland

The morning sun was supposed to provide a true death of bright lights and burning. But, the blue flames were different, and it was not because of the age, it was because of the magic. Godric never truly died, instead he got another chance at human life in the 21st century. A girl with a broken family was the one to stumble upon him, question being, if she was lucky to or not?

Prologue

It was blindingly bright and...warm.

There was no sense of burning or pain, just the warmth of a million suns that licked his skin feverishly, taking in the flesh that hadn't met the light in hundreds of years.

There was no fear, only relief, as the brightness trickled his skin in bright blue flames. The feeling of peace felt so near and so, so good. It was as if the two thousand years that had pained him and dragged him down with all the outlasting memories were completely gone and forgotten, just erased.

There was no noise, just silence that emptied his ears as he spread his arms wide, opening himself to the old element and letting it take him.

This was the true death he had wished for and it was just as beautiful and fulfilling as he had dreamed.

All his thoughts vanished and within seconds the blue flames carried him away.
