Xyza had been wandering aimlessly all day as she collected random items placing them into the knitted bag. She could smell the remnant of smoke in the air and started to head toward it. Her mind was running rampant with fearful thoughts as she mumbled aloud. Is dat fire burnin in the distance? Them little beasts must be causin trouble again. She started to walk at a quicker pace hoping to see what had come of this fire. She could see the trees still smoking as she started to notice the damage. Fire was always such a wonder, how it could kill and birth at the same time. Xyza had put her hands on her hips gazing at the sight before her amazed by the view. The warmth was still in the ground making the place feel unlike the chilly autumn that is was.
Xyza could make out something in the distance and started to walk toward it. Her skirt swayed in the light wind. Had something survived? Is it one of them little beasts? She thought as she started to see it more clearly. Something was moving definitely. She tilted her head to the side her fear starting to rise. Why was she pressing forward she couldn’t comprehend it but something instinctual kept her moving.
