Journey to a new world
As Kanex walked back to her hut she stopped at a sight that made her sick to her stomach. The whole clan was hurriedly packing their belongings and destroying anything that was not needed. Tents were being burned to the ground, children were crying as their toys were thrown in the bonfire in the middle of the street, and women crying as their precious jewellery was thrown out as well. Kanex shook her head and continued down the road until she came to where her hut used to stand. Instead of looking at her hut, she was looking at a pile of burnt ash. They had already destroyed her home and all her belongings. The only thing she had now was the dagger that Thrashal just presented her with. She would have to survive the journey with nothing unless Marine brought some provisions along with him.
Kanex knelt beside the remains of her home.All the anger and frustration that was built up inside of her vanished as fear and doubt took there places. She couldn't believe that everything was gone. She slowly reached down and took a handfull of ash and brought it close to her face. She sifted the soot though her hands and once it had all fallen through her fingers, she stood up slowly with her head held still. A single tear rolled down her cheek and landed in the ash leaving her last shred of hope behind. Suddenly the calmness that filled the air was filled with panic and screams that chilled you to the core.
