A peculiar light reflected off her face. It wasn't the sun. In this midnight, there was only one to light up the night. She fell in love with him from the first sight. They both grew up together but at a different scale.

She loved the fire even when she was a child. She loved fire more than water. She loved to play with it, when she was at the teenage she searched for someone who has the same fire within.

Those eyes of him were always fascinating for her, she loved to see her reflection on those big eyes. The world looked at her in a different way, they couldn't accept their divine love.

He was the saviour of the village when those intruders came to attack. Everyone praised the fire inside him at that time. They were ready to provide him with anything for their survival.

Now there is no need of him, he became anomalous one who will become a threat in the future.

At present, she is the only one who still loves that fire. She found out that the villagers are making a trap to end him forever.

She saw some strange faces around the village. She knew that these vulgar people will do anything for in the name of survival.

It's been a while she had seen him, he was not that much around. Maybe he understood the change in the people's attitude.

But every night of the full moon he came to pick her up and flew towards the mountain-that is stretched towards the horizon. The only thing they have to talk about was the fire. They returned at the dawn.

The reason she was walking through the woods in the mid-night was she heard the news that the villagers imprisoned him with the help of those strangers.

She knew that they are gonna kill him any time now. She went on the direction of that peculiar light which only she could realize.
She knew he was near, now she can hear he growling. She finally reached there.

The scene was heartbreaking for her, they have chained him with the help of spears slashing through his body. His eyes were closed maybe he was dreaming about her in his last minutes. There was a spear through his mouth to stop the fire.

She cried, her man-the strongest one she has ever seen is now enslaved by some piece of iron and the cruel minds.

Suddenly his eyes opened he woke up from the slumber. Their eyes met, the look in her eyes felt more painful than all these shackles for him.

There was a huge growling sound, everyone fell back. His wings started to flap, those iron's moved through his flesh. He flew little high leaving the spears and lots of his flesh behind.

The chain connected to the spear on his mouth was the last one he had to break, with a big growling he broke that too. He flew towards the horizon with wounds in his body and the heart.

Even though it made her happy at first, she started missing him. Everyone said she became crazy, she told everyone that he will come back for her.

Years passed, everyone confirmed his death except her. She waited for him in several full moon nights, there was no trace of him.

This night also she was waiting, he didn't come. Finally, it became dawn, she slept in the woods. The light was spreading all over the village.

Suddenly a huge shadow put the whole place in the dark. It was him, he came back.

She started to feel a warmth she slowly opened her eyes, the eyes she was searching for is now close to her. She stood up and hugged that face which was with little spines.

They flew towards the mountains. After that nobody has seen her and her beloved.
