A Burning HeartUpdated at Oct 16, 2025, 04:09
The siren's wail was a lullaby, a frantic rhythm that pulsed through Rhys's veins. He wasn't just a firefighter he was a guardian of the city's heart, a knight in soot stained armor. Each call was a gamble, a dance with death and destruction, where seconds counted and courage was the only currency. He'd seen the worst of humanity's follies the careless flick of a match, the raging inferno that consumed everything in its path. But Rhys found himself adapting, learning the nuances of the city, the quirks of his new crew. He missed the warmth of the sun, the familiar faces, but Seattle was slowly weaving its magic, wrapping him in its damp embrace. He was a stranger in a new land, a firefighter in a new city, but the fire in his heart burned just as bright.
