Burning Skies I stand and watch as the world burns to ashes, as the world fears my incarcerating rage of betrayal. Damning themselves, people of all types attempt to run and flee without any real success. Astelis, my delicate and frail friend, grimaces with worry. "Why? Why is this all necessary? Shouldn't we have waited?" I laugh humorlessly, my expression darker than that of the raven sky. "We have no reason to wait for humanity. They brought this upon themselves." I linger for merely a second longer, and then unfold pure onyx wings, and take to burning skies.
