"And take revenge for your mother, boy?" The voice asked.
"That time will come but for now, I have to save the woman I love who is still living," Lucien said.
"Will you accept the flames that will be with you until you breathe your last?"
"For her, yes," Lucien said with determination.
"Do you vow not to let the flames consume you?" the voice asked.
"Yes, may the flames give me only warmth," Lucien answered.
It was as if he knew what the lines he should say like a lyrics to an old song he only just remembered.
"Do you vow to use the flames only to extinguish the darkness?" the voice asked.
"Yes, may the flames burn down only those who do not walk down the path of light," Lucien answered.
"The flames have accepted you," the voice said.
WHOOSH!!!
Golden flames burst out from the darkness and enveloped Lucien. They were not painful. It was like being enveloped with a warm blanket on a cold winter's day.
