Void Realm

Alex accepted her fate when she caught a glimpse of his smile. She was perplexed with his innocent smile that made her stop in her tracks; it was as if he bore no ill intent against her. 

In the end, she wasn't able to stop him. A dark flame rose in his palm that engulfed his crushed heart. Then there, an earth-shaking explosion erupted. The pillar of flames grew, devouring him and her in its path.

However, she did not feel the pain she expected to experience. Rather the flames around her felt warm and pleasant. It was as if the flames started to become a part of her. 

Unbeknownst to her, an ember of a white flame inside her that has dwindled in the past years suddenly reignited! 

The dark flames drew in close to the ember of white flame as if being summoned. Or rather, the white flame sucked in the dark flames with great fervor as if it finally found the fuel it needed.
