 A child cries, covered in black from head to toe

He cries for his dead family, in an ruined town.

Survivor's crawl to safety as Fire destroy's everything

Fire dances and smolders everything he touches 

He laughs, when he see's the crying boy

Fire turns his attention to him and the villagers just watched

They didn't move to save the boy and Fire found himself disappointed in them

He reaches down to end the boys life when the Child looked up 

His eyes were burn so he was unable to see

He spoke softly to Fire, "Brother is that you? thank goodness your OK"

The boy laid down and relaxed, leaving Fire confused

The Boy tilted his head, "Whats wrong Chris?" Fire froze

and then He answered, "Nothing I'm Fine " 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From then on Fire took care of the boy

Taking on the role as his big brother, the child didn't even realize that he was living with his family's murder

Fire slowly let his intense flames die down

After years of loneliness he finally had a companion

The boy grew up in the rebuilt village but was shunned by the villagers

The other children were scared to approach him cause of Fire

The villagers talked about Fire in such a way that it made his blood boil but he always cooled down after the Boy came home

One day the Boy asked why the villagers hated them so much 

"Cause after mom and dad died they wanted to split us up but I told them no", He lied 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The boy soon became a man and Fire was right there beside him

Fire would laugh at The Boy when he said he could get a job

"I want to help too", He would whine to Fire but Fire's answer was always no

But the Boy wanted to help so badly he went and applied for a minning job

The Miners were shocked when he got the job

One the workers went to the boss and asked worried, "Why did you hire him he's...Blind plus"

He gulped, "what about Fire?" He shook at the idea of facing Fire

The boss smirked, "Your right He's blind and has a demon for a guardian But I have an idea"

The worker leaned in to listen and the boss looked around Suspicious of ease droppers

"When Fire destroyed our town 10 years ago it took my daughter and my grand-baby"

"I don't want that monster in our town any more but the only thing keeping it here is that Boy"

The worker looked at him curiously, "Yeah so whats your plan"

The Bosses smirk got bigger and he laugh, "If the Boy happens to die in an mining accident then there's no reason for him to stay and if it's an accident then he won't think foul play"
