She won’t cry, for fear of making noise, but she most definitely wants to. She is alone, and she has been for several days. She doesn’t know what happened, only that aboveground, the world has turned to ash, and the Edge is no more. The most terrifying creature she’s ever seen is up there, though, and she wonders if that has anything to do with what’s happened. For three days, she flew above Helovia, and for three days, she saw no sign of life. She was beginning to fear that she was the only one left, when she caught a glimpse of a small group disappearing into the earth not an hour ago. She had been reluctant to join, but eventually fear won out, and she had ventured past the well-hidden entrance.
She sees a light up ahead, and she quickens her pace—is someone there? Perhaps they can tell her what on earth is going on.
