The heat of the flames warmed their skin, but it couldn’t erase the coldness inside.

“Just remember how it felt. And know that I’ll be waiting.” Kayla turned, melting back into the shadows, leaving Susan alone in the cold autumn night, her body still tingling, her soul irrevocably changed. The scent of sex, sweet and musky, lingered in the air, a forbidden perfume. Susan picked up her wimple, its starched fabric feeling alien against her flushed skin. She was still a bride of Christ, yes. But tonight, she had been something else entirely. And a part of her, a dark, primal part, yearned for more.

In just a snap, the withered trees of our land burn up, making our city surrounded by fire. I just can't believe what's happening. This is supposed to be just a normal night for us, but now, it's ways far from what I've expected. But what I didn't expect the most is that the Igetes we expect to save us are now helpless in their fortress. And worse, their last born sibling could be the reason for the end of our realm.

He once said that one day, we would look back and reminisce on all these photos when we were old. Those were our happy, beautiful memories. "No! Please don’t burn them!" I desperately tried to stop him, crying and begging. My eyes filled with bloodied tears. But William still emptied the photos into the fire. As the flames swallowed them, my body became even more transparent. It was almost completely invisible. I was about to disappear. 'Goodbye, William.' "Whitney, the biggest regret of my life was falling in love with you. I will forget you completely, forever."

His fated fireheart departed for the stars, shining above him, in the sky, leaving him alone and with Hanna, when she was still a child. Never again did his heart love another dragon, and in it, there was only room for the love he had for his daughter. In her, he saw his mother's fire glow.

Prologue II: Pyre, 3113 Pyre Av 5, 3113 Stephan Caliphus, King Everything was on fire the night he finished the book in the back room of a borrowed house. He laid his glasses down on the desk in front of him and rubbed his tired eyes. The crackling of flames could be heard as the city burned all around them.

Something she won’t survive. I step forward. Closer to the flames. Close enough to feel the heat wrap around me. To feel it recognize me. Respond to me. Because fire knows its own. And tonight? It knows exactly what I am. “This was your first move,” I murmur. Soft. Almost gentle. “But it’s going to be your last.” The fire crackles louder. Like it agrees. Like it understands. And I turn away. Because I’ve seen enough. Felt enough. Understood enough.

Because after twenty nights of hell, we've earned one.
