The snowy expanse had grown quieter as night fell, the world blanketed not just in snow but in a deep, serene stillness. Above them, the sky stretched endlessly, dotted with countless stars that shimmered like shards of ice. A faint aurora danced on the horizon, its green and purple hues rippling across the heavens.
Lark stood in the center of a small clearing, their emerald eyes glowing faintly in the moonlight. Their feathers fluffed against the chill, though they were no longer shivering. A soft hum escaped their throat as they moved gracefully in a slow, deliberate motion. With a final, fluid gesture of their wings, a vibrant flame sprang to life in the center of a carefully arranged mound of stones and snow.
At first, the fire wasn’t ordinary—it burned in shades of shimmering blue and green, the colors bright and mesmerizing. The unusual flames flickered and danced like living jewels, casting an enchanting glow across the snowy clearing. Lark watched with a satisfied grin, stepping back to admire their work.
“Now that is a fire,” they said proudly.
The beautiful colors lingered for a few moments before slowly fading, shifting into the more natural yellows and oranges of an ordinary flame. Lark let out a small sigh of disappointment. “I liked the green better,” they muttered, though the warmth was a welcome relief.
Rimerock approached from the edge of the clearing, his massive frame moving silently through the snow. His silver-grey scales shimmered faintly in the firelight as he lowered himself beside Lark. “Showy as always,” he said, his tone calm but tinged with amusement.
“It’s not showing off if it’s useful,” Lark replied, sitting down near the fire and stretching their wings slightly before tucking them back against their body.
Rimerock chuckled softly, lowering himself onto the ground. His long tail curled protectively around Lark, shielding them from the night’s chill. “Useful, sure,” he said. “But you didn’t need to make it sparkle.”
“Of course I did,” Lark replied with a dramatic toss of their head. “If you’re going to do something, you might as well make it pretty.”
