Freya's Memory:

Dahlia and I stare out at the village as we walk down the dirt road towards them. The wind is whistling loudly and I watch as the flowers start to die as we pass. The townspeople don't pay us much mind as they go about their daily activities.

The doors of the town hall blast open as we walk through. There are three older women in their 40's or so standing there with shocked expressions. Dahlia revels in their terror.

"Relax. I'm just here to collect on my debt. Tell me, where is Ryah?" Dahlia asks the women

One of the women steps forward.

"I know all about your deal. Ryah is not here and we cannot help you. Leave." She says voice laced with loathing and warning

"If you don't tell me what I want to know, things may become rather unpleasant for you." Dahlia tells them

The women shoot each other quick glances. They don't budge, firm in their decision.

"You would rather have the townspeople pay for your ignorance?" Dahlia asks

No response.

"Very well."

Dahlia rushes me out the door and we move back from the building. Dahlia turns to face it and I do the same.

"Do it Freya." She says

Tears roll down my cheeks.

Please don't make me do this. I don't want to hurt these people.

"I don't want to." I say
"Now Freya!"

Together we raise our arms up at the building.

"Incendia."
