The Fire Flows

Nasiah soon left Shaifa's realm, a hopeful smile on his face, for a future he did not know, and a world he must prepare for. 

He walked amongst the marketplace, now with a newfound excitement within his body that had been awakened by the conversation, and on his way back to the castle, he found a familiar face wandering aimlessly throughout: Malakbel.

She was looking at each store for a bit, entering into it, watching the products before leaving. This repeated several times over throughout her journey.

Malakbel wasn't here to buy anything at all; she simply did not know what to do at all. Tensions became quite awkward after she left Duma, and now here she was, looking at three different versions of paint she was never going to buy and looked only somewhat aesthetically pleasing.

"Malakbel! How are you doing today?" Nasiah called out to her as she quickly whipped her head around and sighed.
