Whitefish River I'm leaving now, as I should be

Uh, said Alyx, faltering. Was it some kind of monstrously huge, flaming bird? That seemed like something out of a fairytale. Decidedly cool, but also terrifying. I think it was like... A fireball? I dunno, it looked kinda small, but that explosion sound was pretty big. That came from like... Waaaaay far away.

She couldn't even begin to guess where the thing came from. It never occurred to her that the stars that sometimes streaked across the night sky were that big and loud up close. She licked her lips and stamped her paws nervously. Would there be more like that? She'd never seen anything like that before and had no idea what to expect.

C'mon, maybe we should keep moving, Alyx suggested, swinging back toward the sound of the water. I don't wanna know if more of those things are on the way.
