Nero Nights
“Valen, no! It’s freezing!”
“You’re a Nero!” he says, pulling me another step into the water. “Warm the water around you!”
“Valen!” I protest, but a smile pulls on my lips and I scramble to kick my boots off. They land in the sand with a soft plunk. Realizing he isn’t going to let me go, I crouch before leaping into the air and wrapping my thighs around his hips, clinging to him, trying to climb higher and avoid the freezing water.
“You cheat!” he yells. His hands come to my hips, holding onto me tightly, but he keeps walking back into the water, sending splashes over me. I scream, but the water isn’t freezing anymore. It glows as it ripples around us, turning Neron blue.
