“Sparks journey to mountain high, evil there will burn and die.Turning fruits of red to gold, his time and labor to be sold.Autumn color fades to winter’s chill, surrounded by stone he will be still.The Moon is lost in darkness deep, goblins for her soul do reap. The darkness swirls heavy and hot, yet cold and damp he remains.Dark and Light do battle above, strength fades, embers grow dim.Moonlight finds him where none shines, a spark, light to give aid, but not to him. The fletching is kindling, easy to spark, even there, alone in the dark.Water falls and rocks tumble, steam hisses and walls crumble Light shines in caverns old, revealing wonders bright and boldFire burns where none should be, as one together they must fleeThrough the Jaws of Kurzat they must climb, to reach the sun and sea in time.”

The flaming apple tree provided warmth and light where there had been none. Many marveled at the beauty, most assumed that Hayden had done something using his fire magic to make it hold its shape. The Wilde family did not tell them otherwise.

Edana looked from the tree back to her brother. “Just stop burning.” She said firmly. At her words, the flames in his hands went out. They both blinked, because the light hadn’t lessened. Looking up again, they saw that the whole tree seemed to be on fire.

The fire sped up the rope and into the tree. Edana was staring at that fire when Brand yelped again.  She turned back again to see flames dancing on his palms, but he wasn’t screaming, merely staring.
