You're running through a forest with your lover trying to escape your captors. As you're running, you reach a clearing. Suddenly a loud shot rings through the air. Your love falls to the ground.

Shaking and breathing heavily from the running, you drop to your knees beside them; frantically holding them as you see the life slowly drain from their eyes.

"No, No, NO!" You cry. "Come on! We're going to make it. We're going to escape."

Their bloodied hand reaches for yours and they place the necklace bearing your promise rings into your hand.

Tears pricked their eyes; in their last, pained, breath they whisper "I love you" before their breathing stopped.

You hold their body in your arms; staring sorrowfully at their once lively face. You couldn't believe it. All this for what? For them to die like this? Your eyes drift from their face to the necklace they placed in your hand. You stand up in anguish to scowl at the dozens of soldiers standing at the edge of the clearing surrounding you.

A malefic scream escapes your mouth rippling across the clearing "YOU. ALL OF YOU DID THIS."

You shut your eyes trying to think, comprehend what just happened. Pure wrath swelled in your chest until a burst of bright orange fire erupted from you spreading across the forest. Violent, ear-piercing screams erupted from the soldier's throats as their skin melted off their faces; their bodies soon to be disintegrated by the heat. Trees burned and fell as the ground became a fiery sea; animals running to escape the blaze.

This is what they wanted, isn't it? They wanted a weapon and now they have one. Only this weapon refuses to be used by the people that did this. That killed them. They deserve this. Your veins start to glow orange and purple as the power becomes too much to bare. Your legs give out and you collapse to the smoldering ground.

Pulling your lover close, you place a kiss on their cheek. Hot tears trickle down the curves of your face as you replay their final moments in your head.
