Fics like The One Who Sought the Sun

Once, there was a woman who roamed the lands she called her own. She had her people who kept her company, and her children, born in time, who would one day succeed her. Her child of the North was strong, as the winter winds and the evergreen forests. Her children of the South were as fierce as their deserts, and as adaptable as the storms that churned along coastlines and sands alike. Her children of the midlands were little bonfires rooted in the dance of air and the churn of the earth, and flexible for their lives were always changing. They burned brightly and burned out quickly, if they did not learn to temper themselves as she had once learned at her own Mother's knee. But her little bonfires were hunted. Stalked and coaxed and devoured, child after child after child, until only one child was left. The only child left to take up the mantle of her midlands as she faltered and faded, and he was hunted still. Alfred Jones had been hunted since the moment he was born. He'd escaped the entity before, by luck and a parent's protective fury. But now his luck had run down, and run out, and he was alone against the shadow that sought the bonfire of the sun at his core.
