The Flame

When we are born, within us, we hold a flame. It is a treasure, to be treated with care, and protected.

Out in the world, there will be things that try to put out our flame, and sometimes they will succeed. Then the world will seem dark and evil, without our flame to guide the way.

What we must know is that the flame within us can always be reignited. Be it by happiness, finding purpose, or love, our flame can begin to burn again. And after being put out the first time, it will shine bright enough to lit the darkest of nights.




The girl ran trough the mall. Left, then right at the candy store, turn around near the ice cream shop-

She stopped. The roof of the hallway in front of her had collapsed, blocking her path. She shook her head violently, turning around as she saw one of her pursuers appear. She tried to climb the debris, but fell and hurt herself.

She cried as the figure reached out to touch her head "Be not afraid"

Then black. 




A/N: I've decided to make a new short series, to explore some scenarios I've wanted to see but couldn't quite fit inside our main canon. This could be a bit darker than usual, possibly being an actual horror story. I'm not quite sure yet. What I do know, is that this sries will be called Dies Irae, "days of wrath", and I really think we'll get to see wrath later. Updates will be infrequent, as I will be working on this when I feel like it, while also working on Altessa's backstory and a summary of our roleplay so I can explain it to my friend. Could you perhaps give me a list of relevant characters of yours we've seen? I can't remember many
