Magic.
It hung in the singed air, reeking of burnt hair and grass. She could feel the ash of what was once life, now death, travel over her exposed flesh. It sent goosebumps with every tiny gust, threatening to turn her to a shivering child despite the summer heat. The heat of the fire, the heat of the summer - she panicked. Thorunn, forever level headed, forever a blank canvas, found the overwhelming scent of magic to be nauseating and toxic. She turned tail and hid.
No, she's not proud of what she did. What sort of vessel of the Valley was she? Who is put off my a little bit of magic?
(Never mind that the answer is the man she admires most - her father. She doesn't know this, much like she doesn't know anything about him - truly)
And yet - she is terrified. It takes days for the sensation of being on fire to leave her bones. It takes takes for her sleep to truly carry her to dream land. She stays in the dead center of the Valley as far from the flames as she could muster.
Damn magic. Damn flames. Damn, damn!
