Saving Innocents

I worked tirelessly to help Lux clear the region. True to the goddess's word I never tired of transforming. It felt no different than breathing to me. I became giant to be a spotter, an emerald Licnine to reach those in tricky places. We pushed forward further and further towards the city.

As we got closer the camps worsened.

More sick, and some dead even.

The most fragile cases unable to walk, their mouths spewing out the glowing worms.

It came to a head when we reached a place that seemed completely abandoned.

We all stopped and I shrunk down to normal size.

"Should we approach," One of the warriors asked.

I took a few steps forward, motioning them to stay behind me, and could taste tragedy. Without speaking I motioned them forward. We peeled open dusty tents only to find them empty. For a brief moment, I let myself think the people had lived.

They must have run and left everything behind.
