Once Upon A Time

That rebellious fire burned deep down inside of her, burning her bones and boiling her blood. Oh my how her fire burned. So bright, it brought light to the world and filled people with heavenly warmth. Brighter than a star, they'd say. Nothing could even put it out, she was told. She was invincible, untamable. Until she wasn't. Someone dimmed her light till it was nothing. And ashes she became, remains of the fire before.
