Fire Fight
Description
He's fireproof. He's telepathic. He can shift between a human and dragon form in the space of a heartbeat. What Elias cannot do is let anyone know his true nature. His people survive by staying hidden. He's understood that since the beginning. And for centuries, it's been enough.
Then five-year-old Lily reaches his mind through walls of fire, and something in his walled world begins to crack. He hears her fear. He answers it.
Fire Flight is a richly imagined, emotionally layered short story that asks what it means to be extraordinary in secret, and whether the longing to be known is its own kind of bravery.
