Wolfram hadn't told anyone about last night's dream. He hoped it was one you forget a few minutes after waking up, but no. He remembered it as clearly as he would have had it actually happened in real life. Besides, he really felt no need or want to talk to anyone right now. He really just wanted to be alone. Even though for someone with a broken heart, it wasn't always the best thing to do.
He lay down again to sleep. Before he fell into the dark abyss of slumber, he had a fleeting thought. What will I dream about tonight?
------------
When Wolfram opened his eyes, all was black. He couldn't see anything around him except for darkness, and yet – weirdly enough – he could easily see his hand in front of his face.
He sensed movement behind him and saw his shadow flicker in front of him. He turned around to see a flame. The flame was bigger than a campfire, but not as big as a bonfire, and there was no wood beneath it to keep it going.
He walked closer. He remembered that this was like when he had made the pact with the element of fire.
He stretched out his hand, as he had done so many years ago. Back then, the flame had jumped and seeped into him, but now his hand just merely hung there, feeling only colder the closer it got.
"I touch the fire, and it freezes me" He started sullenly. "I look into it, and it's black. Why can't I feel?" He pulled back hi hand and examined it. "My skin should crack and peel…
"I want the fire back." He said sadly.
He perked up, swearing he had heard someone, but only seeing a large gray cloud forming from the smoke. "Now, through the smoke, he calls to me." The fire spread around him, circling him, and eerily lighting up his surroundings. "To make my way across the flame. To save the day or maybe melt away. I guess it's all the same." He looked down at his feet.
Strengthening his resolve and squaring his shoulders, he sang with all his confidence, "So I will walk through the fire." He took a step towards the flame. "'Cause where else can I turn?
"I will walk through the fire and let it..." he stepped back, intimidated as the fire blazed in front of him.
Suddenly the ring of fire vanished, replaced by a ring of his family and friends. They had tried their best to cheer him up after Yuuri left, but they too were deeply saddened. Wolfram had ignored them, turned them away.
He watched as they all turned theirs backs and slowly walked away. "So one by one, they turn from me." He gave a bitter smile. "I guess my friends can't face the cold."
Distantly he heard. "What can't we face?" a forgotten smile, a forgotten promise of togetherness.
He remembered Yuuri walking away. Why hadn't he said what he had wanted to?!
"But why I froze, Not one among them knows. And never can be told."
Again the ring of fire sprang up around him, closing in on him with each passing millisecond.
It was inevitable. He had to move on. "These endless days are finally ending in a blaze."
The fire had completely surrounded him, leaving not an inch of free space. Around him, he could see the others. They too were trapped.
Together they sang. "And we are caught in the fire. The point of no return. So we will walk through the fire and let it burn."
Each time they sang so, their confidence grew and they began walking faster.
"Let it burn…"
"Let it burn…"
"And let it burn!" They finished.
------------
As soon as Wolfram had stepped out, he found himself startled awake once more. He sat up slowly. Snapping his fingers, he created a small flame on his fingertip. It was warm. He smiled to himself. Tomorrow he'd apologize to everyone. He shouldn't have treated them so badly and acted like he was the only one hurt by Yuuri's departure.

Okay, for this one I really needed to edit the lyrics. Anyway, 2 down 1 to go.
