Thud—! Thud—! Thud—!
The moment the flames touched my skin, my heart pounded wildly, as if about to burst. Nine Flames Firewheel began spinning out of control, its energy raging chaotically inside me.
My blood burned.
Through ragged, distorted breaths, I stared straight into the flames.
“What a truly perfect vessel.”
What was this flame speaking to me?
I didn’t have to think long.
