Fiery Lightning
Chapter 1: Light the Fire Within
Disclaimer: I do not own Spider Riders and I have no clue who does. If you want to know watch it on the WB network at 10:30 eastern time. I also do not own Light the Fire Within, LeeAnn Rimes does.
An: This is a yaoi, yuri story with hints of heterosexual relationships. If you don't like it don't read it! The pairings are as follows: Lumen/Magma, Hunter/Igneous, Sparkle/Corona, and Aquane/ Castle Seer with hints of a Magma/Glena.
All that I can really remember about my mother is the lullaby that she used to sing to me when I was little especially now. Now that we are at war with the Invectids it holds a whole new meaning to me. I think I remember how it goes. As I am fighting it starts to play through my head.
Have no fear
When darkness falls
Cause there's a light that shines
Within us all
My mother used to say that even if someone was afraid of their light they should try to harness it anyway. But then again look where using that philosophy got her and father. They're dead now because of their ideals. I personally am afraid of my light because it's too powerful.
Although the world
Can turn so cold
When we reach inside
We find our warmth
Cause there's a flame that burns
In every heart
And it's the will we have
That lights the spark
While I'm battling I'm ruthless and don't offer no mercy. But on the inside I'm crying because I hate fighting. I hate the death and destruction that fighting can cause. After all of the useless deaths that this war has caused including my parents' own deaths you would think that the Invectids would have stopped fighting us and just negotiated by now. But they haven't and I'm seriously losing faith that this war will end.
Once in every lifetime
There's a chance to stand apart
We can show the world
Our very best
Reveal what's in our heart
So the story goes and glory
Never will end
Inspiration lights the fire within
Then there's the matter that because of this war and his spider being separated from his sister I can't be with Magma; the one that I love. I haven't even seen Magma for two years and for all that I know Magma may be dead. Also my best friend and surrogate sister Aquane has been captured by the Invectids and turned against her own people and friends. I may never get Aquane back and worse yet I may even have to kill her to win this war. I have lost everything but my sister and I may lose her yet at least that is how I feel about this goddamn war.
And if we fail
We won't stay down
We will get back up
And use the strength we've found
And we will rise
Like champions
Every obstacle
We'll overcome
But I'll keep on fighting this godforsaken war because it's my duty and because I don't want to leave my sister Sparkle with a legacy of war with the slim chance that we may win this war. I want my little Sparkle to be happy and live a long and peaceful life even if I have to die to obtain this for her. I hate it when Sparkle's sad or when I don't see Magma for a long time. But when I do see Magma and when Sparkle smiles it makes me forget about the war and the sadness that is included in this war.
Chorus
Now that the battle that I was in is over I just want to go home and sleep because if I don't the memories may overwhelm me.
And if we just stay strong
Then our hearts will move us on
But then sleeping is not a good idea because instead of memories haunting me nightmares haunt me. Nightmares of death and destruction. Nightmares of sadness and despair.
Chorus
The only thing I can do is sit up, go to my office and do my paper work. The paper doesn't hold any memory of war so it is safe.
Each heart there burns desire
Inspiration lights the fire within
I guess I should be happy I did survive another day. All well at least my people can say that whenever there is trouble all they have to do is shout:
Calling all Spider Riders!
