The Slumbering Spirits
1. Fire
Fire was bright. Like a beckoning beacon, like a stage-light that called him up to bat and be the hero. Fire was bright but he was not a butterfly to be drawn to the flame, but rather a dragon seeking its food, its prey. And that fire was anything from a plea for help from someone pleading the help of a hero to the fools he hunted, thinking themselves safe when they were far from it. Fire was bright, like a beacon that attracted others, friend and foe. Like the urge to fight and protect that stirred in his soul.
