'She could become their savour - or their destruction.' Rumours surrounding the untamed might of a young fire dragon are spreading across the continent of Ballasmara like wildfire. The seemingly limitless flames drive a variety of leaders towards the juvenile dragon to use as a weapon to gain an edge over the enemy after generations of fighting. Ember's fire doesn't stop growing in power and poses a threat for the very dragon that it lives inside, but external forces are also at work which will change her forever. Pressure continues to soar as the war continues to drive all the dragon species towards extinction, including her siblings. As three sides struggle to gain the dragoness' support; consequences of whatever choice she makes will ripple throughout her life and world. But she must choose, or outside forces may choose for her if she doesn't. The deities are watching - when they aren't arguing. ~~~ Completed!

Life gave me wings- Oh! Such useless things. It's hangs on like another limp, An anchor to stop my climb. Please do give a hand, My ocean holds just sand Yet I slowly drown, Depression have taken me as his own. Showing all signs as I fade- Everyone keeps saying it's all in my head.
