"Hear, listen, can you hear,
The haunting melody surrounding you,
Weaving a magic spell all around you..."

Now this Guardian isn't all it's cracked up to be. He was the actual leader. He lead the other 5 Guardians like they were his descendents. He was like Zues, like the God of Gods. And dominant was he. Till was the name he went by.

What is his claim to fame(?) How does he get people to believe in him(?) Well, I am very glad you have asked this question.

You see, Till is not like the other Guardians. Many folks refuse to believe in him...why(?) They fear fire. They fear its ability to destruct. They fear the punishment they recieve from such a deadly weapon. What good does an element do if it kills innocent mortals(?)

Well...
That's what Till wants to show them...

Underneath the harvest moon
Where the ancient shadows will play and hide
With a ghostly tune and the devil's pride...

The night was nigh. Fiery leaves were gently falling to the ground that followed a gentle but cold breeze. And then came the eternal silence.

This part of the forest was dark. So dark that a tiny little flame could light a big area of space. So dark that you cannot make out any details, even if your eyes were adjusted to the dark. Basically saying, it was dark.

But then, candles. A row of them neatly placed in glass jars like lanterns and alligned in a trail like bread from Hansel and Gretel. They enlightened the area bringing back the mystical feel. And that's how Till found his way...

How romantic would this be, but what will happen next was not so romantic.

Next was a villiage. Same as any other villiage, pretty basic and not that densly populated. With all the music, dances and food you would think many people would habit that villiage.
It was the Night of the Dead. People were celebrating like it was Christmas.

Till walked in hoping that he would be able to join them. The people turned their heads to lay their gazes upon him as they whispered amongst themselves.

"Stranger" whispered all the town
Has he come to save us from Satan's hand?
Leading them away to a foreign land..."

The bonfire couldn't come quick enough. Soon the people began dancing again around newly set up fire, singing their tunes. This is what they needed.

"Play for me, minstrel, play
And take away our sorrows
Play for me, minstrel, play
And we'll follow"

They sung as the fire grew bigger and warmer. It was as if they were summoning doom to themselves. Was this intentional(?) Perhaps it was. Till's response was certainly not a good one either.

"Hear, listen, can you hear,
The haunting melody surrounding you,
Weaving a magic spell all around you"

The eternal flame grew around the citizens, dancing with them. Though not daring to harm them, the blaze cut through the houses, the gardens and the churches.

---------

Nobody really knows what happens next. Or why. Some say that Till dissapears into the fire and never let to be seen in the villiage again. Some say that it's to show vengaence for thinking so wrong of him. Was it really an evil thing to do of him(?)

"Danger hidden in his eyes,
We should have seen it from far away,
Wearing such a thin disguise in the light of day
He held the answer to our prayers,
Yet it was too good to be
Proof before our eyes, yet we could not see"

That's one of the last things you might ever hear from that villiage. If it hasn't deceased into ashes then perhaps the words will spread.

Yet one thing that i can tell you...
One the flames burst, Till walked through the other side of the villiage disspearing into the fire
Never let to be seen in the villiage again...leaving it in flames...

leaving it in flames
