This intrigued Solaira. She had truly seen nothing but pain and suffering since her arrival, and she found herself wanting to know if there was more to this world than mere chaos.
Wishing to discover the answer, she saw no harm in going along with the Son of the Fire God. She had heard from the Goddess herself that, just like her, he had been born for the same purpose.
Besides, if there was anyone she could remotely trust, it was him. They were in the same position, bound by the same destiny.
Glancing at his extended hand once more, she raised her delicate one and placed it in his.
As soon as she did, a jolt of electricity ran through both of them. Their eyes widened briefly as their hearts began to flutter in unison.
Wordlessly, Malakai pulled her toward him.
He smiled as a sharp gasp escaped her lips, and a second later, his flames swallowed them whole. When Solaira opened her eyes again, a cold wind whipped across her face.
