Sub Category : Fantasy
Imagine a world of light and darkness. A world where light is foe and darkness is good. On a genocide run, light is determine to throw the world unbalanced and purge the darkness from the land of Mystinforum.

As much as we hate it, the facts remain truth; the darkness and evil of the world helps keep everything balanced.

"Huǒ!" Screamed my mother.

I didn't respond back. I layed there as our house, from a fire bomb, fell apart all around me. The ceiling came down fast. I wasn't scared. I accepted the hand of death. It's hand was all black. Decaying skin, red eyes peering through a black void.

"Huǒ!" Yelled my mother's voice again, "where's Huǒyàn!?"

That's when I came too. Huǒyàn. My little sister. When I did, all I heard, was the fire crackling and the house coming down. Coming down fast. I rushed to her bedroom to look for her. I got there, I only saw her stuffed animals burning. I frantically looked around, seeing if I could find her anywhere.

"Huǒyàn where are you!" I yelled, trying to be louder than fire.
"Huǒ?" Huǒyàn answered, confused and scared.
"Huǒyàn!?" I turned around, "where are you?"
"The bathroom, help please, I'm scared!" She cried.

I banged on the door. The doorknob was to hot touch. I started coughing, the smoke was getting thick.
"Huǒyàn, is there something in the way of the door?" I asked.
"Yes!" She answered back.
"Stay clear of the door!" I yelled backing up.

Huǒyàn stepped into the tub. She curled up into a ball and faced the wall. She started coughing too. Time was running out before the house completely gives out and everything caved in. Oxygen was already gone. When Huǒyàn looked up, she saw me the ground. I looked up and saw her staring at me, tears rollin down her face.

"Let's go!" I yelled picking her up and carrying her out the bathroom. Everything was falling down besides us and on top. I was on he verge of passing out, but kept going. Huǒyàn already passed. We were close to the front door but I couldn't continue anymore. I collapsed with Huǒyàn on top of me. Before I completely black out, I saw four figures enter the house.

I don't remember what happened next. The doctor said while I was on my way to the nearest hospital I kept coming too then out of it. I looked around, Huǒyàn was laying in the bed next to mine. Everything was peaceful until a dozen men in white coats barged in, they took Huǒyàn first. A couple hours later, after putting me on anesthesia, they took me and that's it. All I know is I woke up in a white room. I looked around, hoping to spot Huǒyàn, I couldn't. Then I looked down at my arms. Black tattoos. Scientist were looking at me writing things down. I started yelling and shaking.

I was full of anger and confused. I was worried about my sister, about my parents, about where I am. I was full of a lot of mixed emotions. Huǒyàn. All I could think of was Huǒyàn and where she could be and what these scientist could be doing to her.

I calmed down after an hour or two. I didn't act up or anything until they mentioned Huǒyàn, and what they did.

"Did she survive?" Asked one of the scientist.
"Yes," the other one answered, "she's sleeping right now."
"Good."
"Yeah she's covered in the markings like promised."

I finally broke. That's when everything from there were in and out gaps. Before whatever happened, I looked down and saw my skin turn into scales and my muscles getting bigger. Then flames came off of me.

They did something. Markings, they did something to Huǒyàn too.
