fire of time

the town of Encanto

I walk into the town looking at all the beautiful trees and flowers. I see the happy and kind town foke my heart beats with hope that the legends are true as the fact of a town being here was I make my way to a canteena and see a man with a green hood talking to what looks to be a small gray rat the man looks shy and uncomfortable every one seems to be eyeing him suspiciously he shrinks into his poncho in an attempt to hide from those around him I walk to the bar and ask the tender if he can help me find the magic that lives here the man points to the hiding man and says "he is part of The Family Madrigal but I would get to close he is a crook he can predict the future he said I'll grow a gut but what does he know" the bartender skuofs  I turn to the man in question his eyes are turned down and he looks tired and alone is he really as bad as they say I carefully approach him "are you part of the The Family Madrigal" I ask standing awkwardly to the side he look up at his eyes in a mix of awe and fear "y-yes I am why do you ask" he says sheepishly "I'm looking for refuge I to have a gift well it feels more like a cures" I say looking down his eyes soften "Come with me I will take you to my mother" he stands up and leads me to a beautiful house a young woman in a blue apron holding a baby greet the man "Hola brono" she says "Hola Julieta where is mamà" Julieta points to the far room "she is with Pepa and fexl oh have you seen Agustín" she asks "no sorry sis" Julieta rolls her eye "ay Agustín" she then spots me "I didn't see you there" she looks at brono "why didn't you introduce me to her" she questions "because I need to take her to she mamà first" Julieta shakes her head "forgive my brother Hola I'm Julieta welcome to our Casita" the house moves and craters "what's your name" she asks "I'm Catalina" she looks back at brono he sakes his head she then turns to me "I've never see you before are you new to encanto" she rocks the babe "yes I am I was traveling to find yall" Julieta tilts her head "why?" I look down,"my papà told me of a place where a magical family lives in the Colombian mountains. I seek refuge with you. " she looks at me, and then brono, the baby in her arms, starts to cry "shh shh Isabella shh, " she rocks her. "brono will take you take you to our mother she will help you. I have to put Isabella down for her nap. " she walks away. brono leads me to the room where Julieta pointed ,"Ay mamà it wasn't my fault the baby kicked and it hurt lightning was an accident, I can't control my emotions," we hear a conver throw the wall "I know Pepa but the light did create a hole in the church you have to try hard not to get so angry" the door swings open and very pregnant women growls and storms away literally her husband traveling behind her "what do you need brono" the older woman says "this is Catalina" he introduces me to her "she needs to talk to you" the woman smiles and welcomes me in "I am alma welcome what brings you to our lovely encanto" she points to a set an I sit brono walks out "I wish to take refuge with the family of magic" alma rases her eyebrow "and why is that" I look down "the town I was in banished me after I accidentally set my house on fire" alma looks at me "so you came to us?" I then show her my magic the tips of my fingers catch fire and i move it along and the tips of all my fingers she stares in awe "we will gladly hid you Catalina Casita make a room for our guest" the house starts to move and shift "your room will be upstairs Casita will show you" she smiles and waves me out I leve the room look around the floor starts moveing me to the stairs and I climb them where there were four there are now five door the floor rattles in front of the new door I open it and it is a nice room it has blue wallpaper  and a green wardrobe it is very cozy I set on the bed and look out the window at what will now be my home I set my small bag on the bed and get my needle and thread and fix the sem of my dress there is a soft knock at my door "Come in" the door open and the very pregnant women come in "who are you" she snap at me "i-i I'm Catalina" she sniff "why are you here" her snap vice startle me "I have powers so your mother is hiding me" her face softens "you have magic as well" I show her my magic and she sits beside me "we well take care of you" she smiles the grimes as the baby kicks "I have to go" and again I'm alone in my room again I look down at my hands and remember the screaming and the flames I wipe tears from my eyes "I'm sorry papa I failed you" I lay my head on the pillow and fall asleep tired and weak from my walk up the mountain I hope tomorrow will be a better day with my new a beginning
