Qilaq isn’t entirely sure how far she’d gone and, if asked, wouldn’t be able to make her way back. The morning sun shown overhead, illuminating the world in a hazy grey, and she finds herself in an open terrain with the distant sight of blue. She peeks behind her, the trees lost in a far off land of darkness even on the brightest of days. Standing in the sun as it brightens up, she’s filled with a new level of energy. Her legs ache and her stomach rumbles with hunger, but the sun is enough to distract her.
Her gait slows considerably, not having gone this far alone and now she’s certain she’s lost for good. She’d only been searching for her parents when she’d woken up without them. Qilaq takes a slow breath as the water gets closer and soon she’s face planting the muddy bank and just barely does her nose touch the water. The young girl closes her eyes and rests in a mess of wet puddle while her limbs burn from walking.

she had a mind like a box of fireworks
