Leaving Pearl for the first time in years, even if it was to go to a nearby village, was extremely surreal to the Savior. A part of her couldn't believe she was out here, on a horse she bought just for the sake of this short trip. She was almost expecting to arrive to a crowd of people laughing at her for going through this much effort to go help a man who hadn't been relevant to her life for such a long time.
Still, she made her way through dark trees as crickets chirped around her. Usually, it would take a couple of hours before she got there, but she took almost no breaks and managed to make it after a little over one and a half.
She noticed something the closer she got to the village. The world around her started to change. The sky was turning violet, the leaves and trees were starting to glow softly. The air got colder.
What she found though left her stunned. The village she was heading to was on fire.
