A small girl, only about three years old was running through the streets of Shale. Mischievous at heart, she took it upon herself to play a game of hide and seek with her mom, but not really getting it approved first. She had discovered that she could use shadows to hide in and move around in. In one back alley, as she stepped out of the shadows, she tripped over something and fell to the ground. Glancing back, the white haired girl looked to see what she had tripped over. It was another girl around her age. Immediately, she got worried for her, seeing as how she wasn't moving. She crawled over to her, and shook her a bit. "Hey...wake up," she said urgently. "Awre you okay?"
"CHRISTIAAN?!" a voice called, echoing through the alley. "Christiaan are you down here?"
Immediately, Christiaan knew whose voice it was. "Mommy!" she called back. "Come hewre! A girl's hurt!"
Footsteps echoed in the alley as Krystina hurried towards the sound of her scared daughter's voice. She rounded the corner and saw the two little girls. Relief for the safety of her daughter washed over her, but then worry consumed her for the other girl. She ran to their side and knelt next to Jean. "Christiaan, first of all, don't ever run out on me like that again," she said. "You nearly gave me a heart attack. But second of all, I'm glad you found her. Was there anyone else nearby before you found her?"
Christiaan shook her head. "No...she was all by herself."
~~~~~~
Zephyr decided to go to Shale. If something was going on, she knew she should help. She grabbed her cloak, pulling up the hood before letting the winds carry her to Shale. It didn't take her long to find Chyuta. "What's going on?" she asked as she approached Chyuta and Shatara.

Christiaan sheepishly hid behind her mother, but peered out curiously at the girl. "Mommy...she uses fire too!" she whispered loudly. Seeing that she was similar to her mother, Christiaan wasn't as afraid anymore.
Krystina nodded. "She sure does," she said. She turned to look again at the little girl. "You don't have to be afraid, sweetheart," she said in a soothing, motherly voice. "My name is Krys, and this is my daughter Christiaan. What's you name?"

Zephyr bit her lower lip when she heard Amalia was dying. She wished there was something she could do, but the last time she had tried, it nearly killed her. It had, in fact, killed some of her spirit. The fire inside had dwindled significantly. Still she had to fight with herself to not run and try to save her.

Zephyr nodded. "I'm fine," she said. "I just feel useless. I have this power to save people and I'm too scared and selfish to use it." She clenched her fist beneath her cloak, her nails digging into the palm of her hands and her knuckles turning white from frustration.
~~~~~~~
Krystina nodded and smiled. "Yes...I love it, too," she said. "It can be dangerous in the wrong hands, but when you understand that fire doesn't come from hatred and anger, but rather is more of a life force-- something within-- it is definitely a beautiful thing."
Christiaan stepped out from behind her mother with a grin. "I can't use fire, but I can do something else neat," she said. She ran to the shadows and disappeared, reappearing in the shadows beside Jean.
"So that's how you've been disappearing on me," Krys chuckled. She stood and walked over to the two girls, holding out a hand towards Jean. "Well, Jean, what do you say to trying to find your parents? You can even ride on my back if you want. And don't worry about that man. If he turns bad again, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."
