Novel & Cerita A Promise Of Fire Series

“I promise.” “Good girl.” She eyes me up and down once and I see mischief shimmering in her eyes, whatever she is planning to do, I know I’m probably not going to like it. The grip around my wrist tightens and she holds her other hand under my forearm. She balls her hand to a fist and opens her hand a second later, revealing a small ball of fire.

Suddenly, he caused a huge fire in his body. “Crap!” I ran towards Pyro and hugged him so tight, “Relax, Dearest. Relax. I’m okay. Look at me.” I cupped his cheek and said everything to make him look at me. “Dearest, it's me Fira. Look. I’m good. No pain. Promise!” I raised my hand and then held his hand, massaged it in a second. I was just curious why I could not feel the burning sensation even though he was flaming in fire at the moment. Maybe because of the symbol in my wrist?

“But she didn’t answer directly. She looked at us with that knowing, unreadable gaze of hers and asked why Lunarville continued to ignore prophecy. Why we remained ‘strong-headed.’” Thane’s eyes narrowed. “Prophecy? What prophecy?” Aurora leaned forward, resting her forearms on the table. “We were baffled too. But she said, clear as dawn, that no matter how many traps we lay, how strong of a coalition we form, or how soon we prepare, that we will all perish without the Promised Saviour.’” A heavy silence fell across the room. Thane sat back, breath caught halfway in his chest. The fire crackled in the hearth behind him, but he felt a sudden chill.

That night, a car was smashed by a big rig on the way home, tumbled off the overpass, and burst into flames. Whoever was inside did not stand a chance.

“No! Don’t even think about telling me to leave you!” Vincent's scream echoed as the fire consumed him. The ground beneath Camela cracked open, and a new flame surged up in front of her, shaping into a figure—a tall woman made of fire and smoke. Her eyes were hollow, and her grin wide. “You can end this,” the fire-woman said, her voice resonating with countless echoes. “Just one word. One act of betrayal.” Camela’s body trembled. “What word?” she asked. “His true name. Say it, and the fire will release him. But he will no longer belong to you.”

“I swear.” “That was awesome!” She scanned the room with wide, eager eyes. “What else can I set on fire?” He grabbed her before she could reach for a candle. “Oh, no way.” He pulled her close. “A promise is a promise.” He kissed the smile right off her face.

He set the untouched drink aside and reached for his coat. Fire had rules. Fire did not look back. Fire did not involve itself in accidents or strangers. But tonight, Fire had collided with something cold. And for reasons he couldn’t yet explain, Alexander Steele knew this was not just an incident. It was the beginning of something dangerous.

Shadows flicker red beneath my door now, dancing like cruel spirits. “Run!” The word echoes in my skull. The door bursts inward in a spray of sparks and splintered wood. Flames roar behind a towering silhouette. A man steps through the fire. I cannot see his face — only the outline of him carved in burning light. And his eyes. They glow. Not with reflection. With power. The world fractures into red and gold. Heat devours everything. The scream tears from my throat— I wake choking on smoke that isn’t there. My room is dark. Quiet. Whole.

He glared at my face while giving me a stupid smug grin. “You love playing with fire right? This fire is not just going to burn you, it's going to devour you.” I promised darkly while meeting his stare with one of my own. “Oh little one, you're really clueless, aren't you? You've forgotten that I make the fire, I produce them which means I won't get burnt. I will make you beg for me. On your knees, you'd be so desperate to let me fuck you while you drop off this badass attitude and be my good girl.” He promised and I would be lying if I said I didn't feel electricity exploded in my skin from how dark his promises were.

" What do you mean by that?" " I promised River and Amaya that we would cooperate in whatever they want so that they allow us to leave. They wanted assurance that once we leave, we would betray them and come after them again." " What did you promise them?" I took a breath and told him everything. " How is that possible? Hell fire? I've never heard of anyone using it before. I heard that it is difficult to obtain the eternal fire let alone control it." " Well, I suppose they figure it out. All we have to do is allow them to do it and we will be out of here."
