Thief's Fire (The Fire Trilogy Book #1)

As he looked at her he knew that there was only one thing he could do for her. He could not save himself, but he could save this girl from the destruction and hatred that was at that moment surrounding them. He knew that if he did this his powers would be depleted and he would die, but he also knew that he had no choice. As he looked at the child, he knew that she was the Elemental of the prophecy. He knew that the prophecy must come to pass. If not, then their world would never have peace again. Never would they step out of the darkness and into the light that was once their beautiful world. The Witch closed his eyes and with all the power that was within him, he gave his life for the greater good. He said his last incantation as their house was consumed by flames.
