"The warmth of friendship" By Ben Goode 2016 (c)

The lonesome knight sat by the pond deep in the forest.
He thought he was alone until an elemental visited himĀ and lit up the darkness which had surrounded him
"You know I could just burn away those feelings for you, and you wouldn't feel so low dear Sir Zachary"
The knight didn't seem surprised she was there and smiled.
He was pleased to see her as if she was his friend.
"Ah my favourite elemental dear Phoenix. I am surprised you are here at this time of the night."
"Your heart needed to be warmed. You are heartbroken by her again aren't you?" Phoenix asked.
"Yes I am afraid so. She is a Princess after all. I don't expect she will talk with me. I can't impress her, and I won't try anymore." Zachary explained.
"You retreat here as if you have no where to go. Do you not crave company of your fellows?" Phoenix asked as she sat close by to him. "I would sit closer if i could but i think you have been burnt enough." Phoenix smiled.
"I wish you were someone I could be with Phoenix, you seem to understand me better than anyone"
"I know, but I'm a little too hot for you" Phoenix laughed. "I'm sorry I had to say that, but I shouldn't laugh. I did not mean to jest."
"No its ok, at least you made me smile like you always have" Zachary smiled genuinely.Ā 
"You seek an ideal company which really does not exist Zachary. You chase it as if it were your only choice. But you can't limit yourself or your ambitions. And you certainly shouldn't try and impress anyone. Rather you should use that energy to achieve something for yourself. You see as an elemental I serve only one purpose. My flame burns on my own determination. I stay warm and benefit those who wish to be close to me. They have the choice to sit closer or stand away. Either way i will still stay alight if only for myself. You have your own flame within you. And now it is in need of your own determination. You will have warmth back in your heart soon enough." Phoenix smiled.
"Wow Phoenix, that's amazing wisdom. Thank You, my dear friend." Zachary smiled again and rose to his feet. "I guess I really should head back to the castle i didn't realise how late it was. Will you walk back with me at least and light my way?" Zachary asked.
"You can count on it dear Sir" Phoenix said as she walked ahead.
"Now you can't go and burn down the Princesses castle ok?" Zachary joked.
"I can't make any promises" Phoenix laughed as they both walked away from the pond.
