Nadia has lived in Petra for all of her 15 years of life. Living with her mother, brother, sister, and dog, Nadia certainly has a full house to take care of. One day, when bandits raid their town dry, people begin to leave. Nadia's mother, has decided to stay, but that's going to cost some things. Having almost nothing left, the family must venture out into the desert, to hopefully find an oasis, and to see if they can survive. - "Mama, why must we go?" My younger siblings cried out, as Mother was packing her stuff up. "Because, my flowers, we must go to find somethings that will keep us alive." Mother replied smoothly. I'll admit, I didn't want to leave either, but I thought of it as an adventure. "Just think, we'll be going on a journey! It'll be fun!" I cried out. "Oh yay! An adventure!" They cried out, and I smiled. With their spirits up, it rose my spirits. Maybe we'll survive this. Slowly, but surely surviving.

Successors
He stopped in his tracks. Something was approaching. He pressed himself against the Kakariko cliffs nearest the graveside, not moving until long after the steps were gone. A holy light shone from within the graveyard, and a young woman laid sobbing in its stones. When his eyes met her, he could have sworn she'd taken his life for her littlest. ~~ He stood on the edge, glancing towards the castle his father had once been honored at. He looked just like him. He didn't think he'd ever be able to return to his birthplace. But that was fine. Mom probably can't either. ~~ It's been many years now. Everyone who was there is no longer here. It's impossible to move on, but there isn't even a fragment of the past left. She's been told never to head there, but she saddles her horse. ~~ The Calamity took thousands of lives, but it left behind thousands of others. A sister, a wife, a best friend, a son. They move away from each other, and some move from the places they were, all for closure and to remember without the pain. Over one hundred years does history fade to legend, but the faithful continue to tell the legends, not just of one hundred years ago, but of all the stories from it.Complete
