"Is it safe?" "I don't know." Savaira took a tentative step outside the door. Dust lingered in the air, partially masking the ruins of chaos. Shops, homes, people's livelihoods 一 all stood now as withered rubble; sticks, stones and broken bones. Stones crunched beneath her feet, the only sound other than her pounding heart. This... This was impossible. She and her parents spent years preparing for this horrid day, and yet she never thought that it would be real. It was Carsatia all over again, except that she had the unfortunate privilege to say she had first-hand experience of today. She looked up. The sky was blue, the sun was gleaming. Birds graced across the sky, oblivious to the horrors of the ground. Just then, a shadow blotted it. It loomed over her, constricting her sight. Savaira retreated back, paralysed in shock. Still, it meandered towards her. Reaching, reaching, reaching out. The shadows consumed her, her screams piercing the skies above. 一 ○°•. It's been almost a year since that harrowing day, yet for Savaira Engels, its effects linger as if it was yesterday. Each day, she wanders around the city streets, seeking work (and maybe even her boyfriend). But when an ominous letter falls from the sky one day, detailing a precarious ultimatium, Savaira must walk away from the one giant that holds her dearly. As she goes on her journey, she is called back to something she sought all those months ago: her freedom. Will she ever return to him, or will freedom's song be too great a temptation?
