Yael looked upon his once beautiful piece of land now enshrouded in fire which wafted upward tauntingly. Yael sighed as he was physically afflicted as the landscape with being destroyed; he groaned lightly holding his chest. “Who would do suc-“just as he began his question a bullet whizzed by his head making him fall to the ground in surprise he scrambled on the floor and hid behind a tree which wouldn’t really do anything but he felt safe behind it.

“Come out you freak... let’s go” as the solider finished gun shots rang out again loudly making Yael wince. –What can I do...- He thought quickly. Quietly Yael began shifting into a brilliant slivery-white raven and flew off trying desperately to avoid gun fire. –How did he know I was gifted? - He questioned as his feathers began dancing on the hot winds of fire.

While flying in the blackened skies he noticed two children –what are they doing by themselves?!- swooping down and landing on the overturned car he looked at them for a moment and shifted gently back into his human form. “Are you guys alright?” he said expecting surprised looks on their faces.
