The fire is coming so I think we should run, run, run, run
Argenti raced across the frozen landscape as snow began to fall rapidly in great flakes. Oh rats! Her magpie, Jae, flew overhead, directing her where to go. She'd been out trying to work on her healing studies but as luck would have it she'd gotten turned around and only the expert direction of the magpie had managed to get her back on track. Now it was snowing! She'd hoped that they were far enough into the arid terrain of the west that they could avoid the harshness of winter but she was wrong.
Panting Argenti came to a stop, mist pouring out her mouth as her lungs gulped in freezing air. Jae flew down to land in front of her. "Argenti, why have you stopped? We must keep going. If this turns into a blizzard…." The bird didn't finish her sentence but Argenti didn't need her to. She knew what it meant. Picking herself back up she continued on until she spied a small, fluffy woman. Quickly she ducked down, trying to determine if the woman was a threat. She was smaller than most adults and her fluffy coat didn't make her seem that scary but the girl wasn't sure. Had she ducked down in time, would she be seen? Jae flew down to land near her again. "Argenti, come on!"
"No," she hissed, "be quiet, you're giving us away!"
