K'ailia continued moving through what remained of the tribe camp. Her scalp burned and the heat wave continued playing tricks with her vision. And for a brief moment, she thought she saw a lake, but was just a mirage, a charred bit of land where one of the fireballs had hit.
She approached the charred area and instantly broke down. There were three bodies there of her family. But they were no longer recognizable. They were cooked till just bone was showing, their bodies broken. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sunk to her knees. Who were they? So many died when the fires rained down.
Rising to her feet she turned back towards camp, and saw a trail of sand traveling through camp and slamming into one of the tents. She continued clunching the doll as she slowly made her way to the tent. But even as she did, she was feeling dizzy. And arriving to the edge of the tent she finally collapsed, falling through one of the walls.
"K'piru... where are ya... it hurts..." was all she could manage as she landed practically into K'piru's hip, the doll falling to the ground.
