WordsOfEternity

moonlit-waters:

Have you ever sat in the middle of the room during the winter? When the world seems cruel, and as icy as the wind blowing outside? Each part of your body is tensed and curled in an attempt to bring yourself some sort of warmth, but…you just can’t find it. You’re cold, no matter what you do,…

Heat.

Stifling,suffocating, unbearable heat.

It pulls all around him, lashing at his body and his mind. He’ll submit eventually, and knowing that it’s somehow worse than dying outright.

The waves threaten the man as he stands on the small island, surrounded by an ocean of fire. The heat is sweltering, waves relentless as they lap at the rocky outcropping he sits on, sizzling and breaking against the rocks, slowly melting them even as he sits there. The realization comes too late that they’ll slowly engulf the entire island, and he’ll burn.

His skin blisters and boils as he stands, the heat unbearable, unimaginable. Still he stands in front of the maelstrom, defiant to the end, watching the tidal waves of flame twist and turn, seeming to form into a point at the crest. He knows it’ll hit him a moment later, and he refuses to close his eyes.

There is a roar as they fall, and he braces for impact.

A moment later, the heat starts to fade, and he opens his eyes.

Squinting from the heat, he can barely tell what it is. A female shape, a soothing sensation. A feeling of the wounds he’d suffered healed with a single breeze. Of a soft voice breaking the flames around him, and casting them to ash as they burned.

The wind pulls at him as he turns, and looks at the shape. Draped in white and finery she stands before him, eyes shimmering, bits of amber dancing within as she looks at him. Her hand slides through her dark hair for a moment, casting away the flame behind her with a single wave. The cool wind emanates from her, and it strengthens as she extends her hand.

He knows he’s quite a sight, and gives a mournful smile, walking toward her outstretched hand.

He takes it, and together the flames part, cease and sizzle to nothingness. An ocean of fire no longer, it breaks before both of them as they walk away, hand in hand.
