Sundari ran until she was finally out of the dark forest. It was still dark but as the night passed and the full moon started to go down her powers where slowly returning and she could see in the dark.
As Sundari reached the outskirts of the village and saw her little cottage, she felt relieved to be safe. But at the same time, she was shaken up by the incident which had occurred a few minutes ago. She pushed the horrors of watching those men burning alive to the back of her head, trying to ignore the screams that had echoed in her head. She didn't feel sorry for them as they weren't good people, but the thought of what she had seen scared her. She was also dealing with the fact that she had been forced to marry a corpse. The marriage was however not completed nor does she believe in this marriage whatsoever.
She felt scared, confused, and helpless all at the same time.
As Sundari reached the door of her cottage, she was filled with both relief and fear. She could not ignore the screams of those men burning alive in the forest, and all she wanted was to be safe. She opened the door and stepped inside, and in the corner of her eye she spotted something strange. In the middle of the room, she saw a blob of water floating around, with a big eyes and a mouth. It was Simba, the ghost friend she had made when she was a young girl.
Simba was floating around aimlessly, with a big eyes that looked more like two big circles, and a wide mouth that was curved into a smile. He had no body but resembled a cat, but his eyes and mouth were filled with a strange kind of energy that seemed to be emanating from him. He seemed to be asleep, as he was not moving at all. The sight of Simba brought back memories of the long days she used to spend with him when she was a child.
They used to play together in the forest, and he was always there for her when she needed a friend. She wished he had been there with her when the priest and those men had kidnapped her, but it was a full moon and he was asleep.
Sundari felt a wave of emotions as she looked at Simba. She was scared of what had happened in the forest, but she also felt a strange sense of relief. She was glad to be back in her cottage, and to see her old friend again. She smiled at Simba, and for a moment she forgot all her worries and fears.
Sundari picked up Simba and put him on the bed before grabbing a few essentials and packing them. She felt a deep inner conflict as she went about packing her things. On one hand, she wanted to stay and fight for her freedom, and on the other hand, she knew she had to go in order to stay safe. She looked at Simba, who was still peacefully floating around the room, and she sighed. She wanted to take him with her, but she knew it was impossible. With a heavy heart, she grabbed her bag and headed out the door.
As Sundari stepped outside, she was filled with a sense of determination. She knew what she had to do; she had to set her cottage on fire and make her way to the mountains while it was still dark. She quickly made a small fire and watched as it spread throughout the cottage, engulfing it in flames.
As the fire grew bigger, she could feel the heat on her skin and the smoke filling her lungs. It was a painful experience, but she knew she had to do it if she wanted to stay safe. Sundari watched as her cottage was slowly devoured by the flames, and she felt a deep sadness in her heart. This place had been her home for so long, and now it was gone.
She said a silent goodbye to the cottage and then quickly made her way to the mountains. As she walked, she could still hear the screams of the men who had been burned alive in the forest echoing in her head. She pushed the thoughts away and focused on her goal. She was determined to make it to the mountains and start a new life.
As she walked, she held Simba close to her heart. She knew he was the only thing she had left from her old life, and she was determined to keep him safe. She was filled with a sense of determination and courage, and she knew that no matter what happened, she was going to make it to the mountains. She just had to keep walking, and eventually, she would find her way.
