Evacuate. Help people if they need it. Heart beating in his chest, he looked around wildly, desperately searching for anyone- hoping that whoever remained had managed to escape. But all he could see was flames and ash and he hated it. He could say it once and he'd say it a million times over. Fire was good for nothing except when it was contained and keeping people warm. Feathers fluffed, he bowed his head, smashing it into the snow. For a brief moment he could just pretend. Pretend like this was all a big nightmare and he'd wake up any moment in his bed and everything would be alright. But the crackling of wood and the heat on his back persisted despite the brain freeze. It wasn't until Atbash came forward and nudged him did he finally look up. Just seeing her safe and alright was enough for the bird to break down into heavy sobs. He shook his head through hiccups and finally, finally he began to move, hurrying towards the town exit. He'd only stop once he was at a safe distance, watching his home burn with a heavy heart. Where would he go? He didn't know. He didn't know anything anymore. Nothing except the end.
