Turn Your Face Towards the Sun
Junjie was tired. He was hot, dehydrated, and out of food. Why was he here? He couldn't even remember.
Gasping for air that wouldn't burn his lungs, Junjie silently sank to his knees. He fell on his side into the scalding sand and closed his eyes.
I'm sorry Mum. I just can't do it. I can't cross this desert. I can't bring the Hope to the village
Junjie closed his eyes and fell into cool, blissful sleep.
"Junjie. Junjie get up."
He blinked open his eyes.
"Mum?"
"Yes dear. Come, you must get up."
Junjie tried to get up, but he couldn't move.
"This way." His mother said, glancing back at him as she walked away. "If you can't get up, open your pack."
Jinjie tried to cry out, to ask her to stay, but she was already out of sight. A blinding light began at the edges of his vision, spreading until he could see nothing at all. He screamed.
With a jolt, he woke. Wordlessly, Junjie opened his pack, read a note enclosed in his extra clothes, and trudged on.
Ok, this is a story that I am writing using the lyrics from my favorite song. It might all be about Junjie(I love that name!) or it might be a different charrie every post. You guess me and the song if you want!

Let the Shadows Fall Behind You
Ash sighed. How much longer would he have to wait in this stupid city? It wasn't the nicest place, but at least it was dry. Ash shuddered as he remembered the month he had spent in a rainforest. Town in the middle of the desert? Much more his style. He stood up from his seat at the doctor's table and walked over to the window. Maybe he would get some results this time. This one seemed much more sane than the others.
Dr. Carmen Larounge was an expert on the elemental spirits, and she had promised to try to help him find his father. Although Ash had always believed his father was human, when Rilox, the firicompi who had taught him to control his fire, had first seen him in action, he said something was different. He had said that Ash had more control over his fire with no training than most firicompi ten years older than him had.
Carmen walked into the small room. "You have almost as much fire as a FireLord you know." She said, jerking Ash out of his thoughts and making the Flames in his hair flare. "I'm starting to wonder if Magnus is your father. We'll know in a while, your fire is still processing. Do know how hot that stuff is? It almost melted my machine!"
"I can't feel it." He mumbled, turning away from the window. "I can't feel anything hot anymore. The only thing I feel is cold." The Flames swooped down from his hair into his hand. "It just kind of tickles."
"Makes sense. The fire can't burn you, but it requires some reaction. Does that burn all the time?" She asked, pointing at his hand.
"Yeah." Ash threw the Flames back into his hair. "Even when I'm Exhausted. Unless I get wet. Then everything goes out. That's why I don't like to shower; the Flame isn't there to chase off the Cold."
Then there was this... Feeling. Like if Ash didn't look now he would miss something important. Puzzled, he looked.
"Is-is that a kid?"
"I think so-"
"Come on!"
Ash bolted out the door and onto the edge of the desert. The scalding sand didn't bother his bare feet, but as he approached the boy he could tell that he was in pain. He reached the boy just I time to catch him as he knees buckled.
"Whoa! Kid! Kid, are you ok? What's your name?"
The boy muttered, "Junjie." And then he passed out.
Just FYI, Junjie is pronounced Junejay.
