Heart of the Storm

Jacqui's POV

I hurried as fast as I could toward my tower. Wherever the storm had come from, it wasn't from the Underworld. The Underworld had no ozone. The storm was a purposeful use of magic. Passing by the fields I covered my mouth as the fires continued on their rampage. Many souls were fleeing the area and I watched as a young girl tripped on a twig. The fire was almost upon her. I teleported to her side, scooped her up, and teleported far from the flames. I set the girl down gently. I had to be cautious. The flames did not stop at my command. Could they kill souls?

"Are you alright?"

"Yes." She meekly replied.

"Do you know what your parents look like? I'll send you to them." I asked, hoping she would be safe with them, wherever they were.

"They live, Your Majesty." The young girl puffed up her chest in confidence and pride showed on her face.
