Wish For A World Without Flame Novels & Stories

I had earlier on made a constructive prophecy that came out of simple imagination and suspicion about something relating to cold and ice on conjunction with the winter. Seemed I was right though, I’m always right. The winter comes with unimaginable cold, sometimes overwhelming and brutal. We all know that living things like to take cold substances but in ourselves, we don’t want to get extremely cold as the substance. How dare venture into the ice road or ice water, seems death is beaconing on you. No one with his or her right senses goes in contact with ice. That’s the same way it is with our lives. When we are cold within, we scare people away likewise when we are too hot. Life needs to be

You called Me when you wanted to change everything. She could not deny it. When she had been small and powerless, she had dreamed not of rivers or winds. She had dreamed of everything burning. Of Selene’s sneer melting. Of the elders’ cold eyes turning to ash. Power, in her youngest fantasies, had always been flame. “I have wanted to burn this world,” she said aloud, voice low. Flame laughed. *Of course you have,* it said. *Everyone who has been hurt by it does. You wanted to purify. To wipe clean. To start over. You still do, sometimes.*

I stared up at her, terrified. “Do you know what I want to wish for, Samuel?” My entire body shook. Then she spoke and the heavens listened. “I wish that no child will ever lose their family to monsters like you.” Lightning split the sky. “I wish no woman will suffer because power-hungry men decide her life is worthless.” The earth trembled. “I wish no innocent soul will be hunted, sold, murdered, tortured, or sacrificed ever again.” The wind roared. “I wish that from this day forward, anyone who seeks pleasure in the suffering of others... anyone who kills the innocent for power... anyone who walks the path you walked...”

Such malignant and roaring flames any force of nature couldn’t put off, not even God. It looked as if the world around him was the ocean of fire and the waves of flames washed his feet. Those flames spread like a wildfire across the world, from walls to walls, from body to body, sparing not even the souls that it clawed. A virulent curse that didn’t stop until it had brought the entire world to ruin. The winds carried those flames like a memorandum of destruction, spreading it far and wide. The clouds rained paraffin. The soil had turned worse than gunpowder. There was nothing and no one who could stop the flames Zephyr’s footsteps had hexed the world with.

The words settled in the centre of her chest and stayed there. She forced herself to look back at the wall. “Tell me what the text says. The writing around the border.” For a moment he said nothing. Then he began to recite, not translating but speaking from memory, the words worn smooth from years of repetition. “The flame does not choose a hand. It chooses a soul. No force of will, no act of theft, no cleverness of mind can hold what belongs to its vessel. The vessel will come in borrowed skin, from a borrowed world, carrying grief the flame already knows. She will not understand what she carries or what she is. She will arrive frightened and furious, completely unable to be controlled.”

She thought of the fire inside her—of how it had once been a burden, then a gift, then both. One day, it would end. That was the truth written above her head. But the ending didn’t have to be collapse. It could be foundation. Her flame flickered warm in her chest as she whispered into the wind—not to defy the prophecy, but to shape what would follow it. “One day I will fall,” she said softly, her voice carrying into the night. “But before I do—I’ll build a world that can stand without me.”

A memory__My mother’s voice. “The flame is not a weapon. It is a bond. Between life and death. Between heart and pack. Use it not to destroy, but to choose.” I gasped. That’s why the god wanted it. That’s why Kade failed. He tried to take it but the flame… must be given Aelira ran toward me, blood on her arm. “We can’t kill it, Freya. Not with force.” “I know,” I said. “Then what?” “I have to choose.”

I'm sorry" over and over. I gently stroked her head, my voice still soft as I told her, "It's okay. No one in this world is incapable of making mistakes. As long as we recognize them and are willing to change, that's what matters." Finally, I said, "Don't ever do something like this again. No matter how much you love someone, it should never come at the cost of hurting others or yourself."

She closed her eyes and thought of her people—the children hiding in ruined villages, the mothers who buried their dead, the warriors who still held the walls though hope grew thin. I do not seek flame for myself, she whispered inwardly. I seek it for them. The fire pulsed, responding to her thought, and a warmth unlike anything she had ever known flooded her chest. On the other side, Cyrion thrust his arms wide, laughing as fire engulfed him. “Yes! I will wield you as a weapon. Together we will tear down thrones and build an empire from the bones.” But even as he shouted, the flames around him sputtered, turning black, coiling like smoke strangling its own source. He snarled, forcing them t

“I was not trapped. I was stationed. Bound by oath. The Flame was never meant to be used as a weapon, yet for centuries, that is all it has become—a tool for rulers, tyrants, and the desperate.” “And now?” I asked, stepping away from Damien so I could meet her gaze directly. “Now that it’s gone?” A hint of something—perhaps regret, perhaps warning—passed through her eyes. “Now, the world shifts.” Before I could respond, the cavern trembled beneath our feet. It wasn’t violent, but it was steady, pulsing in rhythm like a heartbeat that had just been awakened after centuries of sleep. Lena looked around sharply, her hand on her dagger. “What the hell was that?”
