We run for a while, Ty's words spurring inspiration in me. I feel my heart lifting for the first time in a while as we run and I let out a whoop. Ty imitates it and we're having fun, doing stupid things, just like brothers. But the forest soon grows heavy with smoke and we stop, pulling our shirts to our faces in protection. We enter the destroyed village, looking around for a bit and avoiding anything that moves. Bodies dot the ground, most blackened, others not so much. I have to turn away from some.
Then, as we are turning a corner, we hear it. A wail, loud and raw, that dissipates then rises again.

"What is that?" I mutter to Ty, and he shrugs.

"Want to find out?" He asks me, and I look at my sword.

"I don't know, what if it's dangerous?" He grins.

"All the more reason to! Come on!" Ty starts walking in the direction the sound is coming from and I reluctantly follow.
