Chapter 2 - Fire

As Artemis' terrified eyes look at me, I ask,

"Hello? Can I help you?"

"Yes! There is a terrible fire in town square! We need all the help we can get!" He gestures for me to follow him.

-----

As I stare into the flames, the flames that were currently engulfing the town square, all I can do is watch.

"Seal!" A voice yelps, waking me from my trance. Quickly, I raise both hands, and rain falls from the sky. It barely does anything to the flames, as they ever grow. The feathers on the tips of my wings start to burn off, and I grimace in pain as my skin burns. I back up but realize that a figure screams from within the flames, so on instinct, I fly into the flames and as fire gropes at my face, I reach into the flames and grab them by the arm. I feel their charred skin underneath my fingers as I yank them away from the fire. As we sit on the ground panting, I realize that the person sitting next me, is Artemis.
