When I woke up the next morning I felt something burning inside me. I put my arms around my stomach and held it as I rolled in bed. "Little Mouse? What's wrong? Mouse?" I started to cry and scream. "IT HURTS! FLAMES! HELP ME PLEASE! IT BURNS!" I then felt something gold drop on my skin. I tried opening my eyes but it would just hurt more. I couldn't feel anything but my skin burning. It feels like I was being lit on fire. But the hottest fire there is and ever will be. Then suddenly the burning feeling stopped. I could move and open my eyes. When I opened my eyes I saw the sky. The beautiful blue sky. I felt water on my arms,legs,and neck. I then tried to stand up but I just sank into the water. I looked at my legs but there was a tail instead. I then saw Flames face from under the water. I quickly went to him and he picked me up. Holding me bridal style. I held Flames tightly as I looked down at the water. "You're a siren. And sea water helps you with a lot of stuff. Almost everything. Try swimming alright my love. For me?" I nodded and then Flames started to lower me into the water. I then put my tail in and I started to swim. It was fun. The water flowing beside my scales and the water flowing through my hair. I looked at my hands and they were webbed. I had webbed hands. But it was fun. I then jumped out of the water like a dolphin. I then swam back to Flames and as I swam to him I laughed and then he picked me up out of the water and warmed his body up. By the time we were out of the water I was already dried and in my human form. I then realised I wasn't wearing anything. Flames started to laugh a bit but then he grabbed something and covered me with it. "Don't worry Little mouse." I wrapped the towel around me and covered myself a bit more. Flames then carried me to a car and put me in the backseat. I saw a backpack beside me and then Flames said, "change here ok. I will start driving home. Or do you want to get started on our adventure? We can start at the castle." I nodded and then started to change into the clothes that were in the bag. When i finished changing i then saw something that was the colour of blood. I took it out and it was a cloak. I put it on and used it to keep me warm. I then unwrapped myself and then jumped into the passenger seat beside Flames. I rested my head on Flames shoulder and wrapped myself in my blood red cloak. "Kitty, can you tell me a story?" he then laughed a bit and said, "I'm sorry Angel but I'm driving. I can't right now." i whined and said, "Pleeaaasssss Kittyyyyyy." he laughed a bit more and said, "Fine. but i want something in return." i sat up and said, "and what is that my precious little Kitten." i could feel him getting hotter. I sat up and looked at him and he was turning red. A deep red. I laughed a bit and said, "you ok kitty. Did I make you feel flustered?" I laughed then leaned in and gave him a kiss. When I pulled away I sat in Flames lap and wrapped my arms around him and rested my head on his shoulder and he began to drive again. I felt the car move and I could hear the engine. I then buried my head into Flames neck and I don't know why but that is my favourite place to rest and bury my head in. I then closed my eyes and started to hum a song that I have always memorised by heart but don't know where I heard it. But it just felt right to hum it. "Do you remember our song Mouse?" i didn't reply and then Flames said, "it's the exact song you're humming right now." I then finally said something and I said, "that's our song? Do you know where you heard it because I don't remember but I want to." he then started to hum the song with me. I smiled as we both hummed our song. "What should we name it then? Huh kitty What should we name our song?" he stayed silent for a bit then said, "what about a love song?" I then laughed a bit and said, "My love will never die. That should be the name." he then chuckled a bit and said, "i like it. My love will never die. Well my love for you Mouse will never die. Even if I'm dead." I smiled and said, "Neither will mine Kitty. Neither will mine." I then held onto Flames tighter and then I felt the car stop. I didn't lift my head though. I just waited for Flames to tell me when to get up but he didn't. He just wrapped his arms around me. I then lifted my head and looked at him. His face was so adorable. I then put both of my hands on his cheeks and pulled him in for a kiss. He then kissed me back and then he stuck his tongue in my mouth. I started to play with his tongue. I could feel his warm saliva going into my mouth and some escaping from my mouth and sliding down my chin. I then pulled away as Flames stared at me. His eyes. I love them. I l-love h- I can't. I can't say it. "Kitty i-i would uh love to do this more but i-uh we should go into the castle now." I knew that he knew that I was flustered. "Is my firefly flustered?" I then buried my face into Flames neck again so then he didn't see me blushing. "N-No." he then started to laugh. I quickly teleported out of his lap and outside the car. I covered half my face with my hand and started to walk to the door of the castle still looking at the floor. I then took my hand away from my face and looked up and saw my old castle. I thought I burned it down. "H-How?" I then felt someone put their arms around my waist and their head in my neck. I gasped and saw that it was Flames. "I fixed it with Midnight. Do you remember midnight?" Without saying anything I made Flames let go of me and just looked at him in his beautiful deep ocean blue eyes and then went to him and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much Kitty." some tears fell onto him and when i realised i started to laugh and then started trying to dry them. He laughed a bit too then said, "It's fine Baby. really it's ok. Hey look at me." he then lifted my chin and made me look at him. "I Love you. Now why don't we start looking in your castle." I smiled a bit and said, "Our Castle, Kitty." he smiled then gave me a kiss. I kissed back and when he pulled away I grabbed his hand and ran inside our castle. I quickly ran up to my room and when we got there I let go of Flames hand and went into my secret library in my room. I pressed a button that looked like a brick and then it opened the door. I entered and then ran to the stairs that led to my magic room. That had all my magical artefacts, potions, wands, everything and anything magical. But the most important thing in that room was a pillar that at the top had the Api Biru fire and my phoenix. Not the blue one but the normal one. When I entered my room it was the same. It was never touched by my fire. It looked even more beautiful than the first time I saw it in front of me. I then put my hand near it to feel the heat from my fire. I was then scared by Flames and I jumped and almost dropped the Flame. It was in a bowl on top of the pillar. "FLAMES-" when i yelled his name Flames stared at me and stayed silent. "I'm sorry. I just-." he just stayed silent and said, "no i'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have scared you. It's fine." I just hugged him and just stayed there for a bit. He hugged me back and kissed my head. "Alright now what do we need from here?" I then pulled away from the hug and grabbed my favourite leather satchel. I gave it to Flames and grabbed some stuff that would help us find the 13th flame. I grabbed a magical compass then a map and a small container that I could take a piece of my flame and put it in. I grabbed a piece of my flame and put it in the glass container. I put it in my satchel and then grabbed a book about all the Flames and their environments. I put it all in my satchel and then put the bag on. I grabbed Flames hand and ran up the stairs and out of the room. I pressed the brick button and then ran out of our castle. I quickly got in the driver's seat of the car and Flames got in the passenger seat. I started the car and then Flames said, "Do you remember how to drive-" I cut him off and drove fast out of the kingdom and then I remembered something. "Nerissa Azure." I then drove to their house and as we were driving to her house I said, "I remember. Nerissa Azure, Anne,Jack,Aquilis,Isamu, a-and Rain!" When we got there I got out of the car and ran to the front door. I knocked on the door frantically and then Nerissa answered. I hugged her immediately and she ran her fingers through my hair and said, "Emily! Your back! Have you come to see Aleixo?" I then pulled away and said, "Not exactly. I didn't know that he was here. But I remember you and Anne and Jack and everyone." I then heard Flames laughing a bit and said, "Apart from me." I turned around and my smile faded. "Yeah sadly i don't remember my own Husband." he came closer and i turned around to face Nerissa again. "But uh, m-may i see my raven?" he laughed a bit and said, "raven? That's what you call him?" I nodded and smiled saying, "Yes, that's what momma used to call me so I decided to pass down my nickname to me and Flames son." she smiled then grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. I looked around and it was a beautiful home. The main colour of the whole house was white and a baby blue colour. I then saw Isamu come down the stairs with my little Raven in his arms. I walked towards him and grabbed Aleixo from his arms and said, "Thank you Isamu." he nodded and I just stared at Aleixo. I never realised it but Aleixo looks exactly like Flames apart from his hair. It was mostly white but there was a streak of fiery red hair and some brown mixed in it. I kissed his head and rocked him in my arms.                                                                          
"Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious wide awake fearing no manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
For your dolly polly sleep has flown
Don't you dare let her tremble alone
For the whitcher, heartless, cold
Paid in a coin of gold
He comes he'll go leave naught behind
But heartache and woe
Birds silent for the night
Cows turned is as daylight dies
But one soul lies anxious wide awake
Fearing no manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths
My dear dolly polly shut your eyes
Lie still, lie silent, utter no cires
As the witcher, brave and bold
Paid in coin of gold
He'll chop and slice you
Cut and dice you
Eat you up whole
Eat you whole"
