An aching sorrow for the woman she had been, silenced and small and for all who suffered the flames before her. 
The chains that had bound her slipping quietly to the ground. Finally there was triumph over ignorance.
Freedom came with the realization that she no longer belonged to anyone but herself. So she healed the sick, mended broken hearts, and whispered secrets to the wind that brought peace. They tried to set the fire, but it refused to catch. The flames would not touch her, for even the elements knew she was not their enemy. 
Over time, they stopped fearing her and came to her for wisdom, realizing that true magic was not something to fear, but to embrace.
