"If I could fly I would never come back", you said
When the fire flared up around her and hels began dropping dead into the sand, the white gore crow took off again and came flying out of the inferno with flames licking her wings. A bit sooty and out of sorts after lingering too long in the draining shade of the Nether palm, she swung high into the air to regain her bearings and catch her breath.
Leaving the stoking of the flames to those on the ground, she remained in her shifted form and came down only once the palm had been reduced to a pillar of charcoal. Gingerly picking up pieces to gather them up and dispose of them somewhere else, it was with a sense of accomplishment that Maea joined the others in the cleanup. They worked well together, now as in the past, and she considered all over again whether to invite Sah to the expedition she and Talyson had planned.
But that would be a conversation for another time. Once she was done here, she had business to attend to back in the Grounds. The new year had only barely begun, yet the sheer amount of work before her had Maea feeling behind on schedule already.
Maea leaves the last kill to Thalassa and Sah, and helps dispose of the remains afterwards.
