Redhawk Caldera Here's Johnny

Feeling too weak to continue, no matter how badly she wanted to go home, Wildfire spent the night resting in the shelter of Bramblepoint. She slept beside a swath of churned earth, staring at it wonderingly before she fell asleep and once again after she woke in the morning. Feeling a bit better, she climbed to her feet, sought some fresh water to drink, then headed out on the final leg of her impromptu journey.

When she drew close to the caldera's borders hours later, Wildfire slowed, then stopped and stared. The storm had altered her beloved home's landscape. There were downed trees as a result of the high winds. She also saw signs of flooding. She gaped for a few moments, then hasted her steps. Her stomach pinched with hunger (she hadn't eaten since the evening of the storm) and rolled with every step, yet she ran as fast as her legs could carry her.

She only tripped toward the end, fumbling into the zone of her parent's claim. "Mama! Dud! I'm home! I'm safe!" she shouted at the top of her voice, which wasn't very loud at all. Wildfire didn't stop there, beginning to climb, angling her path uphill to aim for the rendezvous site on the caldera's opposite slope.
