Summary: Helene's old nightmares come true.

Cities burned for twenty years in Helene's dreams before Honningstrand ignited, and the reality was worse than the promise. There curled the mother, trapped with her son, as she'd dreamed at seven. There burned the shipyards, sacked only this one day in their vast history.

It was drearily similar to unwrapping her naming day presents before the actual day. Helene left Honningstrand dying behind her, looking back only to spit a mouthful of ashes upon the broiled remains of an animal. Or perhaps a child. Helene had never been able to spot the difference.

It had barely been worth expending the match.

THIS IS ALWAYS CREEPY. Especially that bit about the animal/kid, but then again, Helene. Run very far.

No, don't run, then she'll want to chase you. And she's quite good at hide and seek. >:)

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this! It's always good to hear from you.
