Mura

Mura

I AM Mura, the great white flame. From time immemorial I have been sought after, woo’d and deified. I am the god of warmth and light, there is none greater than I. Without me everything would perish. The abuse of me would consume utterly. So Maui nearly was fated. As it has been, so it will be down through the ages till the end of time, if there be an end. Where I am, I shine supreme. Even man—. Two pretty lips puckered. One feeble protest from Mura, and then—darkness.
