Lost but now found
Later that night...
Lyla rode upon her stallion on her monthly trek to the kingdom to
trade in the local market, breaking through the tree line she had yet
to notice the dead kingdom.
Upon entering the gates , burnt flesh and grass engulfed her smell , as she
continued to ride she came across bodies surrounded in black ash . She
stopped her horse in shock and fear , slowly approaching the bodies ,
gagging at the smell she backed away again and took out the double
ended spike and began to venture further into the kingdom , silently
and carefully .
As she walked , she saw houses destroyed , carts overturned and people
burnt with a permanent look of fear on their faces . She began to hear
the silent whimpers of something , as she walked closer she realised it
was the cry of a child . Adrenaline soared through her body as she sprang to the sounds so she could hopefully save the child , or at least try to before it was too late . She finally reached the sound and looked upon the baby
in the basket covered in ash and slightly wet from the slight drizzle. The child looked up at Lyla with piercing blue eyes as Lyla slowly
perched down to gather the child up in her arms . Something on the
blanket covering the child caught her eye .
It was a stitching , in bold red .
Serephina .
and just under that an even smaller stitching , Fiery one .
Lyla gathered the child in a hurry and ventured back home where she
would look after the child and perhaps even keep her.
(A.N : Hey , so I know it's really short and slightly slow but I promise longer and more fast paced chapters coming soon , enjoy )
