Smouldering, flickering, it flared and leaped. The fire licked the walls around me with a dangerous fervor. It soared and winded around the room like a huge hungry serpent, an inferno blazing out of control, the plumes of grey smoke enveloping us with not a way to escape.
It's almost funny how only a flickering spark could weave such a destructive blazing curse.
When I saw the flaming arrow zipping towards Alexteris through the massive window of the master bedroom, I was a wide-eyed ball of anxiety. I bolted to him unconsciously to pull him out of the arrow's trajectory, but what I didn't realize was that it was just a fraction of the entire plot.

ZYLITH."There was this one time when her hand slipped and the sword she was practicing with went out flying and.....""And? What happened next? Come on come on, tell me! Fast!" I urged him with shining eyes, albeit he couldn't see my expression but I recon he could imagine how excited I must've seemed to him.Alexteris and Reuben's mom seem just like the kind of mom I would die to have."(Chuckle!) And the sword flew out towards the head of the then grand chancellor who had come to discuss some important matters with my father. With a zapping sound, it went right pass above his head while carrying the wig he was wearing along with it.

ZYLITH.DEAR bad Luck, let's break up.I can't deal with you anymore. You're like a bad cold that won't go away no matter what I do. I've had enough! Let me talk to your superior so that I can get permission to high five you with a chair, on your face."....Hey! Earth to Fake Lizzy." My knight in shining armour who turned out to be an asshole in an aluminium foil waved his hand in front of my face to bring me back to earth. Even though I was super reluctant to, Reuben's hard stare made it tough for me to defy him, not to mention the ogle of the mummy guy.Yes, you guessed right. All the assholes and jerks are gathered up in the same place today to gawk at me to death. Don't even ask why.And I was like a dead Tuna going with the flow.
