Chapter 394: A Kiss Under Fireworks

Cinder's interest visibly piqued. "Explosions… of light?" Her gaze shifted toward the sky, as if trying to imagine it. "And you say they are used for celebrations?"

"Yeah," Alister confirmed. "They're not meant for battle or destruction—just for people to enjoy watching."

After Alister finished explaining what fireworks were, Cinder frowned slightly, arms crossed as she considered his words. Then, with a tilt of her head, she asked,

"Isn't my fire breath brighter and more amazing? And… can't we just fly into the sky instead of using this…"

"Ferris wheel?" Alister completed for her, raising an amused brow. He then chuckled. "You've got a point."

Cinder leaned in slightly, her crimson eyes narrowing with mischief. "Then why don't we?"

Alister smirked, but before she could say anything else, he gently placed a finger on her lips.

"Those may undoubtedly be better options," he admitted, "but we're going with this because there's a certain beauty to it."

"Beauty?" she repeated.

Alister leaned back in his seat and gave her a knowing smile. "Well… you'll see."

Cinder slowly nodded, a rare hint of childlike curiosity lighting up her usually composed expression. "I see… I would like to witness these fireworks from the Ferris wheel, then."

Alister chuckled.

A ride operator gestured for them to step into one of the gondolas. As the door shut and the wheel slowly began to turn, Cinder gazed at the horizon, waiting to see what these fireworks were all about.

Alister simply grinned as the Ferris wheel began to ascend, the city lights stretching out beneath them like a sea of twinkling stars.

As the Ferris wheel continued its slow ascent, Cinder sighed, resting her chin in her palm.

"This thing moves like a lazy lizard basking in the sun," she said, watching the city lights shift ever so gradually beneath them. "Are we supposed to enjoy this?"

Alister chuckled. "Patience, Cinder. The higher we go, the better the view."

She huffed. "I could've taken us to the sky in an instant."

"But that would ruin the experience."

Cinder glanced at him, unimpressed. "What experience?"

Alister simply smirked. "You'll see."

Minutes passed, and the Ferris wheel creaked softly as it carried them higher. Cinder tapped her fingers on her knee, shifting in her seat. Just as she was about to complain again, a sudden explosion of color lit up the sky.

Her breath caught.

Vibrant streaks of red, blue, and gold burst above them, blooming into intricate patterns that crackled and shimmered like stars. More fireworks followed, filling the night with dazzling displays of light. Cinder's eyes widened, the reflection of the explosions shimmering in her crimson irises.
