Symphony of Ash

Chapter 1:

-Ignite-

By: Light of the Firefly

AN: A friend of mine made this suggestion, of 100 word ficlets, and I must admit, it's HARD to stay in the 100 word guidelines. So much has to be cut out, sentences have to be reworded.

He didn't stand a chance against the death gods.

He was helpless…too weak...

Something deep inside of him snapped then, and burned white hot.
