The Fire Nation Attacks!

[luv 3469]

 

“I pray the mountains meet the heavens above, I dread when the lightning strikes the scene… I need a hero today, o’ Allah. For within these times of uncertainty I beg of you to light the path for me and the one I love, so that we may find sanctuary. I beg of you, o’ Allah, for a hero and I beg for him soon as the invaders of fire attack the place I call home. And o’Allah, if you cannot give me a hero, please give me the strength to save my people this day, give me the strength to be the hero these people need. I beg of you.”

 

The Qalasheen woman would be upon her knees before a small altar, looking up with a look of great distress. The sounds of yelling fill the village as the gate would be brought down before the invaders. Kypris moves within the small room, bending down to press a hand to Fahim’s shoulder. “We must go, as soon as humanly possible, ya hayati.” she’d then bend down more to press a kiss into the back of Fahim’s head. The Qalasheen woman would close her eyes as she did so, a single tear running down her face at the sounds hear from the village streets.

 

“My baby! Please somebody save him!”

 

“Run mother, run!”

 

“They’re inside! Gather your wards and get to the mountain!”

 

“Where are the Gods!? Why haven’t they come to save us!?”

 

Kypris gathers a small bag from the ground, withdrawing an amulet and kissing it before placing it back within the bag, she’d utter a few words to close the bag. Fahim soon rises from her seated position, moving towards Kypris and wrapping her hijab swiftly around her head and with a brisk nod the two moved their way downstairs. “We must find Quadir, before it’s too late.” Fahim would mention as they were about halfway down the steps, Kypris however came to a halt. “Fahim, we cannot turn around to find him and his family, they will only slow us down.” Kypris would respond harshly, the duo continuing down the steps, it was apparent Fahim wanted to say more, but didn’t. The pair make it to the doorway of the home when suddenly a ball of flame would be sent roaring into the roof, sending it down upon our characters.

 

Kypris would open her eyes to see Fahim across the room, huddled into a corner and with a dagger, a man beside her on the ground brutally injured if not already dead. Soon two more men enter the room, with a swift sweep of her leg Fahim would trip the one and lunge for the second. She’d drill the blade into the neck of the second attacked, he falls lifelessly to the ground. Fahim not even a second later turns back around to land upon the first man, slamming the knife into the back of his skull. Kypris attempts to rise, using the wall beside her as support as she’d look about, specifically up to see the roof of the building engulfed in flames. Fahim takes the swords from the two fallen men, throwing one into the man we first saw. She’d then run to Kypris’ side; “Are you okay ya hayati?”. Kypris nods and offers a warm smile, the duo rushing into the village streets.

 

“Where have all the men gone!?”

 

“Fight! We live by this city we die by this city!”

 

“Children and women, to the mountain!”

 

“Find the witch!”

Kypris and Fahim traverse through the village swiftly, as if they knew this place like the back of their own hands. The two weaved and spun through every alley in the village, around every turn. Kypris lifted up her red hood and began to lead Fahim near the forest. Behind them the city was in flames, the entirety of the population evacuating to the top of the mountain whilst being chased by the barbarians. “Quickly ya hayati, we mustn't be caught.” Kypris would hush to Fahim as they approached the Sea where a run down dock lay rest. The two moved onto the docks where there were boats and upon the those, an escape.
