《Origin of Flames》11 Cast
Advertisement
A child's voice asks, 'What are you, shining one?' Huh? Am I dreaming? Everything's black. 'What's dreaming?' I shout,
"Who are you?" 'Come into my territory, I eat you.' I wheeze awake and wave my knife around at the spider, but it leaps away and looks back. It leaps into the bathroom and screeches. I breathe heavy, did it just talk? Did I imagine it? I slowly look down at my leg. Cobwebs cover it tight.
I go limp, like a cast? Did it, help me? Wait, two bite marks? Am I dinner? I stand up without any pain. I feel warm. I walk upstairs and peek outside. It's still pitch black. Wait- creatures run about through the darkest cloudy night.
I walk downstairs fast and to the mirror. The spider hisses to my side. My eyes glow yellow. The spider swipes at me and I
march out the bathroom, "Sorry." I look at my hand, put my fingers together and snap. A flame comes out my thumb, the
spider screeches and circles me.
'What- Is that?' I hold the flame towards him. "It's fire! Back off!" 'Fire? Fire blinding.' I shout, "How are you talking?!" 'Don't know, Parents never told me.' I back away towards the stairs, "A baby? You're so big!" 'Am small, will get bigger.' I turn and speed walk up the stairs. He follows and I hop out the window. The spider stares back.
The ominous cold winds blow against me as I walk towards the station. I start shivering at nature's wrath. I snap and out comes a small flame, but it gets blown out. I fall into the high snow and wheeze. The air's too thin. Can't breathe. I make a small candle flame. I breathe near it and still feels like sandpaper going in. The flame goes out and I doze off.
In and out of sleep, a warmth of a paw and black fur.

8 143In this life, I will live peacefully
One morning I woke up in an unfamiliar body. How did I end up as some swordsman noble lady? Excellent question; I have no idea. But now that i have money, power and a stable job as the duchess of a nice piece of land, I sure as heck am not going to get back. What's that? Mercenaries are creating monsters with alchemy to insure their jobs won't disappear? The prince of a neighboring kingdom has sent me five marriage proposals this month alone? The Church which I am supposed to represent is running a propaganda campaign against demi-humans? Well, the least I can do is to fix things around my fief. Oh, and just in case anyone decided to go against me, I'll form an alliance with the crafter's guild, and start working on some semblance of modern artillery. Stay tuned, this story is getting re-written. Cover by HWPerfidy
