Ki'ira was wandering this maze of darkness for a while now. She couldn't escape it, she didn't want to still escape it. She wandered around in her grief, trying to discern reality from illusion withing her own mind. How did the goddess appear to her? Was completely a mirage created by her mind? It felt so real, but sounded nothing like her mother. Was it an illusion from someone or maybe just a vision!? She knew not and did not care. Still her senses were strong even in her overpowering grief. She sensed him... she noticed him... a being beyond any human. He was standing there at the edge of darkness. His presence was so overpowering, even Ki'ira that did not fear any man nor beast felt the desire to escape with every fiber of her body. Her instincts were screaming to run away, but her body did not obey. The man clad in darkness just stood there, causing pure waves of terror and disgust to rush through her body. She tensed, her mind screaming to avert her gaze and try to escape, despite her inability to do so. Still many lesser men would have simply broken down under this presence, but not her. Gathering all the strength of will she can, she forced herself to confront the presence of the figure in black bravely. 

[color=ed1c24] “Shadows... darkness.. black...”[/color] Ki'ira mumbled just before the presence began to vanish. There was no mistake here, that must have been the so called King in Black! Her rage flared up in an instant just as the presence vanished along with the darkness that began to lessen. Only now did she saw what she couldn't before. Up there on a tree that was like taken from the worst nightmares, was dangled the body of a mystic silver fox. Her neck snapped, her belly cut open so the lowly creatures can feast upon it. She could recognize this fox anywhere, there was no mistake this time. That was Vinsha! Ki'ira's mind froze for an instant, before she jumped with all her strength towards the body. [color=ed1c24]“MOTHER!!!! BEGONE ALL YOU LOWLY CREATURES! THOU HAS NOT THE RIGHT TO FEAST UPON A GODDESS!”[/color] She screamed, unleashing a wave of fire so powerful that it could turn into ashes everything it passes through. Ravens, insects, trees, nothing was spared by the all consuming fire. Only the tree of flesh and bones persisted, but she only focused her power even more. At this point hunger and fatigue did not matter anymore to the daughter of Vinsha. Focusing as much power as she can, she finally took down the tree and along with it, the body of her mother. As the corpse of the fox fell to the ground, the fox eared woman quickly rushed to it. Taking the head in her lap.[color=ed1c24]” Ohh mother...”[/color] Ki'ira cried once more.[color=ed1c24]” Did you really know this day will come? Was that the reason for your lessons?”[/color] Ki'ira felt like a little girl trying to talk to her parent that was never going to respond again. Vinsha always taught her children that death was an inevitable constant in this world. Entropy was a eternal force and that someday maybe even entropy will fall victim to itself and the world will cease to exist. That was the reason according to her to live every moment for it's own sake, to seek the meaning in life in a simple laugher. The reason that it was worthy to do pranks and seek entertainment.[color=ed1c24]” Don't worry mother... it's over. No one will touch you anymore.”[/color] Ki'ira whispered as she softly brushed her hand along the fox's head and then gave it a small kiss on the forehead. 

 Afterwards she gently placed the fox's head back on the ground and stood up. Ki'ira couldn't fly and without her tail she wasn't exactly the fastest runner out there. Still she wasn't going to let her mother be defiled anymore! The calamity placed both her hands on the ground, letting her magic sink into it and form a huge circle around the fox goddess. She then released all the magic she can into it, turning the whole area around the body into a burning dome. This was going to turn the fox into nothing but ashes. With tears on her face, she turned backwards and started running in the direction where the coastline was supposed to be. While running, Ki'ira focused and bended her magic as she wanted, swinging both her arms to the sides, to flaming wave slashes flew in both directions. The incinerator dome she did for Vinsha was going to start the forest fire already, but this was going to aid that! 
 
 She ran as fast as it was possible considering she lacked her tail, but as she ran she remembered a certain small thing she discovered sometime before she died. If she condensed her flames enough, it was possible to use them to propel herself around. She had experimented with using the recoil to dodge things in midair and what not. Problem was she already expended quite a lot of power to deal with everything to this point and she was tired. She lacked the energy to use such thing for a long time that's why she just stuck with running for now. She wanted to have energy to use to fight in case something decides to show for the light show she just put up. Still her target was to reach the coastline and from there hopefully some remnants of civilization. Even if people abandoned the cities, it was still going to have some food around... and if she was lucky she was going to find someone to travel with...
