Ashes, Ashes, We all Fall

Galahad had only a second to gather his legs when the light grew. All about the colt was glowing. Harks fall back and he looks around him, but no source of light can he fi- It’s me! In a panic he scuttles backwards until he hits a bush. Brighter and brighter! But it wasn’t warm, it didn’t burn. It wasn’t his magic….which made it worse! Finally the sea eyes shut away, but it’s still there, brighter still. He squeals, crouching down, but there’s no escape. He feels it’s cold flames lick his spine, his shoulders, ever it’s light bright.

Then it’s gone, leaving nothing but a warmth on his back. Cautiously the small colt opens his eyes…everything looked dark…wait it faded in. The world coming back into focus. Da was there. Haldir was there. A heat built around him, and his harks fall back, what was- Da yells at him, and the colt turns his head back. The bush was on FIRE! The colt hollers again, his voice now going hoarse, as he scrambles and canters away. That’s when he felt them, he felt them as they laid low on his back.

The pale colt spins, as he Da finally reaches him. He sees them though…to his horror. Feathers…White flaming feathers. The rain falling on them causes them to spark and lick the damp air as if swatting back. He looks to the burning bush, the rain already putting out most of it, but his eyes widen even more. Had he done that?! With wobbling voice the babe looks back to his Da. His Da…Ma…they could fix this right? “Da….what’s going on?!”
