Chapter Four: "Candle on the Water"
Daine sat on the wall, the sun was setting, and everyone in Corus was on their way inside to their families. Tears fell as she looked out over the city and beyond. Lindhall was dead. A slaughter. Gory mess was all that was left of his rooms. Now she feared for her and Numair's safety. And that of anyone close to her.
The last notes of a song played on a flute swirled on the air and grew faint as it reached Daine. She whispered the words she had known for what felt like all her life.
"I'll be your candle on the water,
This flame inside of me will grow.
Keep holding on, you'll make it,
Here's my hand, so take it,
Look for me, reaching out to show,
As sure as rivers flow,
I'll never let you go,
I'll never let you go,
…I'll never let you go."
The music ended, and Daine fell off the wall.
Authoress's Note: Was that short or what? Anyway, I do not own that song, it's from the movie 'Pete's Dragon', and I felt that it fit so well, that I wasted a chapter and threw it in. Heh heh heh…
