Authors note:
First off, to the readers of Illusion Skies, I am very deeply sorry for not having updated in such a long time!
I've been suffering from writers block as well as many issues with myself and the people around me. I've only written half of the second chapter so far, but hopefully I'll finish it soon! Once again; I am deeply sorry!

This is something very fast-written while I was listening to a swedish song called I Lågornas Sken (In The Light of The Flames) by Nordman
If you go to YouTube and search for I Lågornas Sken Nordman English Lyrics, you will find a video by AccuseSourberry with perfect translated lyrics!
I'm not really happy with this, but considering I'm still having writers block I guess it's kind of good...
I might continue this later, but until then I'll leave this as a oneshot.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi. You are suspected for having used witchcraft to cause injuries on one of our own. After finding no proof of your innocence, I hereby sentence you do death by burning in the cleansing fires of god!"

The large man, the village chief, threw a torch on the pile of dry wood. It was soon joined by other torches thrown by a few men.
In the middle of the dry wood, tied with his back against a wooden pole, stood a brunette boy. He didn't say anything. He only looked solemnly at the fire that was slowly growing around him. He knew exactly how to save his life, but it would also mean that the one he loved would suffer the fate that he had chosen instead of her. He'd rather die himself than watch his beloved fiancé burn.

There were some truth in that the chief had said; He had used witchcraft, but not to harm anyone. In fact, he hadn't used his powers for days now since he didn't feel like they were needed. But he wasn't the only one with Powers in the village.

His fiancé, Sasagawa Kyoko, had been harassed by a drunken middle-aged man on her way back to the village after having gathered some wood the night before. When he refused to leave her alone, instead getting closer and grabbing at her skirt, she had used her Powers on him. Her Power made her able to control a person's sight, to decide if they could see or not. She had made the man blind and because of that he had fallen down into a wolf trap and broken both his legs.
Kyoko had rushed back to the village and told Tsuna about what had happened. They both knew that they couldn't flee from the village, they wouldn't get far before they were killed by the archers. So Tsuna had confronted the chief in the early morning, saying that it was him who had blinded the man from a distance.
It didn't take long for the villagers to build the fire and tie him to the pole.

Now the flames were almost touching him but he barely noticed. So far, all he felt was a small tickling sensation all thanks to his Powers.
Tsuna looked up from his feet and scanned the crowd around him. He could see his mother crying hysterically, his father holding her tightly. Tsuna smiled sadly before tearing his gaze from them. He tried to find Kyoko, wanting to see his fiancé one last time before the fire actually started to harm him. But the short haired girl was no-where to be seen. He saw her brother Ryohei though, standing in the back of the crowd with a troubled expression. It was the first time Tsuna had seen that expression on the older Sasagawa's face, and it saddened him a little that it would be the last. He knew the reason behind Ryohei's expression though. Ryohei knew about Kyoko's Power, as well as Tsuna's, since he had Powers of his own. He knew that Tsuna had taken Kyoko's place. And he probably also knew where Kyoko were.

When Ryohei saw Tsuna looking at him he suddenly looked guilty, and glanced towards the side. Tsuna followed his gaze and felt his heart stop. Kyoko was standing in the shadows between two houses, making out with a taller male, and completely ignoring her fiancés impending death in the fire.

A single tear rolled down Tsuna's cheek, and suddenly he felt the fire upon him. It caught hold of the ropes holding him, burning his wrists and ankles. It caught on his pants and shirt and soon also his hair.

A shrill scream of pain left his throat as he thrashed against his bindings, trying to get away from the burning and the pain. It was useless, he knew that, but his body disobeyed him as it struggled even more. Another scream left him and then everything turned black.

The majority of the villages sheered as the flames swallowed the brunette. When the thick smoke cleared, all that remained was a still burning piece of rope and ash covered bones. Everything was gathered and ordered to be buried at the nearest holy ground.

END (for now).
