Chapter 14: Harvest Moons
FINAL part

When I opened my eyes

I dropped to the ground like magnet.

My body pivots on instinct and broke my fall, crouching on three's,

wind bursted around me.

I have no idea if I gained power or not.
I don't particularly feel anything different.

I turned my focus at the sky where the sinister glow of fire is seen simmering, lighting the night heavens.

The orchard is on fire.

I can smell the burning of terra lingering in the air,

the minute tremors of the ground that tells me the battle is still on-going,

I raced towards the said place in a hurry.

Somehow my jumps are higher and my feet are faster, like a weightless sensation, I was but dashing through the place in an unbelievable speed.

But I can't brood how I could, I need to go where Aeron is.

Soon, I reached the field farms.

I looked around and saw everything burning.

Ahead of me were people watching hopelessly as the scorching flames dances around, destroying their years of hardwork and livelihood before them.

As I look around, it was then that I just noticed that my hair is black.

I can't let anyone see me, is what I thought but then I remembered how my fear of being rejected had held me back far too long, like a captive.

I walked forward.

Swallowed the knot in my throat and headed to the crowd of people.

One step taken after the other,

Some people turned to me.

I saw how they look at me.

I focused my eyesight ahead and just went on walking forward as they made way for me in utter silence.

Through the quiet and shocked crowd and towards the fire ahead of me, I stepped in, feeling the scorching heat as it begin to wrap around me.

But I wasn't burning,
Not even the clothes I wear.

Further and further I went,
till I was out of sight.
