fiasko
Once more, she ventures out into the open.
A light dusting of snow covers the Gates, hiding what little remains of the damage done by the fires. The Mother Tree has done its best, but healing always takes time. At the moment though, the kingdom looks perfect. Like no tragedy or disaster has ever touched it.
If only that were so.
She walks delicately over the carpet of snow, ears alert and eyes peeled for any sign of her family. She hasn’t seen Finnley since the trip to the Falls, and Kaelie since the disaster itself. And she still hasn’t even met Camelia or Mast. She hopes they’re alright. They have to be alright.
She continues on deeper into the kingdom until she reaches the Mother Tree itself. It too appears to have recovered, though she knows there are scars hidden in the bark, like the burn scar that stretches across her back.
No one is in sight (and she cannot smell anyone nearby), so settles in to the shade of the Mother Tree and leans up against its trunk. Hopefully there is still someone left and they will be along soon.
