The Art of Fire

Destiny

"Hmmmppphhh" I wake up. Where am I? It seems like I was sleeping in somebody's room. How long did I sleep? How could I end up being here? When I try to remember, my head hurts again. It's the same as yesterday. Why my head hurts if I try to remember something? What's wrong with me?
"Are you awake?" Ah, it's Onyx. I remember him.
"Onyx?"
"I'm glad you remember my name. Well, how's your head? Still aching?"
"Do you carry me to this place? Where am I? Why does my head hurt when I try to remember something?" I hope he can answer me. Don't know why, but he seems reliable.
"How can I know, I just met you yesterday. But, yes, I carried you here, it's my castle." He sits beside me.
"What's wrong with me??" I ask myself but then again, my head's aching.
"Don't push yourself; by the way, I think I know what kind of creature you are. It was written in my historical book. I was very surprise I've just met a rare creature in my own forest." He gives me an open old book. That's me! I'm on this book. But wait, I think there's some different between us.
"She's not me. I don't recall having a birthmark in my right arm. I think it's only coincidence that i look like her." I tell him.
"Hmm, I don't say it's you! I said I know what you are." He smirks.
"Oh, I see! Hey, but how do you know she's not me?"
"If she were you, it means you have lived for more than 300 years now. And I think you're not that old. Or are you?" He smiles.
"No way. So let's see." I read the articles behind the picture. It's said that the girl was a 'human'. What? Well, I AM a human. I've already known that.
"So, a human. Just an ordinary human. But, why were you so excited when you see me?"
"Of course I am. Because human is a very rare creature nowadays. Maybe you're the only one in this town, or in this country."
Suddenly the door swings and a young boy runs to Onyx yelling something.

"Onyx, I made it! I made it! It was a completely success. I did it!" he yells.
"What?" Onyx's face change so fast, it's funny. What did he do? What success?
"My first magic for you! Finally I can make my friend meet his destiny!"
Magic? Are there really magic in this world? I don't think I can understand what they are talking about! First he said human was distinct already, now his friend said he did some magic. Well, I think I'm not the only freak now. They're odder than me.
"Sorry for interrupting, but what are you talking about honestly?" i ask them. I really curious about them. They are really strange.
"Hey Onyx, who is she? Is she the human?"
"Ah, it makes sense now. About how she entered the forest without the key! It's because of you! Your magic did it!" Onyx pat the 'magic' boy
"What? I don't get it at all. Would you please explain it so I can understand?" Now I really confused.
"Well, young lady, I'm Sirius, Onyx's best friend,"
"No, you're not my best friend!" Onyx frowned
"Shuddup Onyx! He's just shy. Ignore him! I'm an angel. The beginner although, but I can do some magic, including summoning. I summoned you here." Sirius explains.
"Geez, it's strange. There's actually an angel in this world. I'm Feuer, by the way. Don't tell me that you are an angel too, Onyx?" I hope I'm wrong. It just makes no sense at all. Well, including me too. I'm also strange one according to people in my own world.
"Nope, he's not!" well, thank God for that.
"But he is a vampire." Then Sirius laughs. Onyx's face suddenly turns red.
"You're just dead already. I really gonna kill you this time!" Onyx shouts while chasing Sirius who is running wildly in the room and suddenly disappears. Yeah, I mean really disappear like wind.
"Where did he go? Did he just, disappeared, Mr. Vampire?" I shock.
"Enough already! I know I am a vampire. And yeah, he just disappeared. That's the first magic he can use." He says. Onyx now faces me again.
"Are you scared?" He asks me. His face shows me that he's a little nervous.
"No, but I'm shock. The fact that I'm not the only one that's strange makes me a little relieve."
"Strange? Yeah, I know you're from 300 years ago, but what makes you strange. i've read that human are totally normal. no supernatural power or anything. that is why they didn't survive the Bloody War"
Then in flash I move toward the table. I take a book. Suddenly the book burns and turns into ashes. Onyx shocks. before he says something, I already move back to bed, act like nothing happened.
"Well, am I strange enough?" I tilt my head
"Wow, I take back my words before. You're amazing. Are you sure you are not an angel too? Like Sirius?"
"No, I'm not. I guess I'm different with your friend. I only can control fire, not water or air or any other thing. I also can't summon people. By the way, Sirius said about destiny. What is that?" this place is interesting. I'm starting to like this place. i have a strange feeling i belong here.
"Hmm, I think I must tell you everything if you ask me that question."
"It's ok if you can't tell me right now." actually I hope he can at least give me a short explanation about that.
"No problem. I can tell you everything. Because Sirius said you are my destiny. I don't mind." He smiles. This is the first time I hear someone said that to me. I hope I'm not blushing.

~to be continue~

i hope you enjoy the second part. the character's name is my favorite name and i write this while imagining them. i let your imagination works for the faces #winkwink
just so you know, Onyx is really really handsome and sweet to the point no one will ever guess he's a vampire at the first sight. and Sirius is just the definition of greek God. and our little Girl Feuer is misterious yet attractive young lady who lost her memories also her light. but eventually she will find her light, so don't worry.
until next part then.. ☺️
