Excerpt #2:
"Pyro is not a word you say around witches. The history of witches with pyro was a subject to be
avoided. My research indicated a pyro's power usually manifests at a very early age, normally around
six or seven years old. It was almost always a female witch and it was always trouble. Many years
ago, these children had been killed out of hand, then in the fifties lobotomized. More recently, they
were kept in fireproof cells at institutions and kept so doped up they really had no idea what was going
on.
The pyro ability in older children was extremely rare. The case of the girl they had called “The
Flame” was an interesting one and I spent an hour looking in various books for references to her case.
It was believed that she was a late bloomer like me and didn't come into her power until her early teens.
She had some level of control compared to the younger ones. When she failed to control herself and
burned down an apartment building resulting in dozens of deaths, she had gone on the run. The Witch
Council had sent a team of witches after her, chasing her around the globe for several years before
catching her and killing her in a fight full of magic and fire.
Instinctively, I knew I always had the pyro ability."
