Posted Chapter 23: Student of the Flames! Here's a short excerpt of it:
“Your flames are powered by intense emotions. Of hatred or love. I believe darkness lurks within you. You must learn to control your emotions. Otherwise, that incident in the plains will arise once again. And it might not be possible to stop the storms.”
Carter froze, staring wide-eyed at the old man. His breathing grew uneven, as he instinctively nodded, and turned around once again. His eyes darted around the valley. The colours didn’t seem as vivid as they once did. Almost gray.
I don’t want to be consumed by that hatred, he thought.
Oh, but you shall. It is your destiny, the voice whispered.
He took a deep breath, and took a step towards the trail. Leaving the haven farewell. He didn’t think he’d find another one like it.
He began to quicken his pace. Willing the voices and whispers to fade, he ventured onwards. To home.
