I like working with fire. It’s saved my life several times.

Candle light, moon bright,

I reached out and touched the match to the wick.

Watch me, guard me,

The flame flared, guttered for a moment in a draught and then took hold.

This night, every night,

I took a deep breath and concentrated on the small, flickering fire. It grew stronger and brighter.

Keep darkness away, keep evil at bay,

“You can trust fire,” I told my Apprentice. “It’s your friend. Remember that.”

Candle light, moon bright.

Dennis grinned and flourished a small lighter and a box of matches.
