Background[]
As you near, you feel a vibrant history contained in the essence of this woman's soul. Voices from its past seem to call out to you.
You see a ragged child, oil lamp in hand, making her way down an alleyway. Mud-encrusted socks on small numb feet push forward, despite the cold. She has eyes only for the barn ahead, and the soft hay inside. She fumbles with the lock, hairpin in hand. Despite the cold, she unlocks the door with expert fingers, and slips her gaunt frame inside. Somewhere between closing the door and falling to the floor, the lamp slips from her grasp. The flames try the hay tentatively, and find it to their liking, reaching faster, further. The girl screams.
Outside, a woman whips through the streets, chasing shouts and smoke. Her hands are moving before she sees the flames, and from her fingertips erupt three near-invisible missiles of force. They shatter the barn-door, but fire delights in company, and roars larger in response. The screaming has stopped. Skinning herself in iron, the woman mutters a prayer and pushes forward into the inferno. The fire screeches, starving, and she responds with fury and frost and hail. She will not be swayed, and the fire is defeated.
The child is weak, chest dry and searing with smoke, but alive. The woman carries her out to cheers and applause, as molten sweat dribbles down her silver face.
