But now, with just a few words from Giara, his entire fierceness seemed to melt away. "Fine, but I'll need to add another security team for you."

The boy’s song had stopped hours ago, but Azriel still felt it, deep in his chest—like a heartbeat that didn’t belong to him. It hummed under his skin, threaded through the sixth flame, quiet but alive. He couldn’t shake it. None of them could. The camp had fallen into that kind of silence that feels like holding your breath too long. The fire was low now, its embers pulsing soft red beneath the ashes. No one moved much. No one slept. Not really.

The fire crackled and glowed a bright orange colour. We all sat in a large circle around it, the teachers on one side, and the rest of us students filling in the rest. Some people had grabbed sticks for roasting marshmallows. There was other food provided by the camp and also nonalcoholic drinks too. The teachers encouraged us to sing songs, and soon enough, the whole group was singing popular songs. A few of the boys started a silly game of charades, pretending to act like animals and while the rest of us had to guess which animal it was.

They had made camp for the evening, their fire burning bright against gathering dusk, their voices raised in harmony that spoke of much practice and genuine affection for the songs they sang. I kept to the shadows, unwilling to interrupt or reveal myself, content to simply listen as they cycled through their repertoire. Ballads of distant wars and tragic romances, humorous songs about clever farmers outwitting greedy lords, lullabies that made me ache for when my children were small.

Sophia jumps with joy and shouts very loudly with her arms in the air: - Until Lucifron falls into the arms of his fireheat! In unison, everyone repeats. - Until Lucifron falls into the arms of his fireheart! Lucifron lets tears fall looking at each one of those present. It was true. He would now look for Gary accompanied by a strange army, but a real army anyway. Gary wandered through the woods very slowly. His pajamas were so thin that the tree branches had already torn them. All the noises scared him. He was lost. Well, he was lost a long time ago.

I am a coward. His hand rested on my back, slowly travelling up, under my shirt. I wasn't wearing anything beneath. His warm hand lit the fire wherever he touched, careful not to crush me under his weight. His lips traced my skin on my back, making me shiver when they touched my sensitive neck. We are going back tomorrow, who knows this might be our last time together. His hand slid down deeper, touching my heat.

Sophia laughed for real once. And I felt it in my chest like hope trying to be something again.

But when I turned around and saw Ryder leaned against the door frame watching me, I stopped stuck in my track. I remembered the time our team went camping. At night we all sat around this huge bonfire while telling stories, joking around and simply getting wasted. Then the boys started talking about girls and I retreat to an empty tree trunk where I took out my guitar and started playing an old love song. I sang it with my thoughts flying to Simon.

I remembered how much I ached to take my phone and text him. But I had no connection. So instead I star

The flames leaped up, orange and gold against the deepening blue of the night. Someone began to drum, a slow, steady rhythm on a stretched hide. Another person began to play a flute, its melody a questioning, hopeful thing. Then, Lyra began to sing. It was a new song. A song of the First Dawn. It spoke of grey turning to gold, of silence turning to music, of a long winter giving way to an eternal spring. Her voice, clear and true, wove through the drumbeat and the flute, telling their story. One by one, the others joined in. The Rememberers sang the old words of the earth.
