Redhawk Caldera it's dark again

It still felt strange to think of this place as hers. In her mind it would always be Eljay's... he and the Caldera were something more than what she had with it. Her home here was just by proxy.

It's the name of a forest full of magic, from stories my mom used to tell us. Maia answered, smiling. There aren't as many trees here as there were where we used to live, but we brought the magic with us. So we kept the name anyway. It would have been strange to leave it behind.
