nebulosity

_Mmm...I had a dream, a very wonderful dream, who woke me up?_

dark clouds are slowly coming from the east. The wind is picking up, they are blocking the sun, and every second there are more and more of them. Outside the window, the sound of pouring rain and thunder began to be heard.

The rain caused puddles to appear on the forest road, and evaporation comes from the ground, forming a kind of haze. Because of it, and because of the rain, the distance seems blurry and unclear, as it should be on a warm summer day.

 For some, this rain is salvation; it gives freshness and a feeling of purity. Someone will say this weather is just dirt and damp. Well, to each his own.

But Iera was very confused by the rain.

She was lying on the floor from having fallen out of bed from the thunder and was still trying to recover from shock...

_where am I? I have a feeling that music was just playing, so why did everything change to the dampness of the rain?_

There was a knock on the door.

*: Iera! Iera! are you awake yet? Please let me in... the rain is pouring down like buckets, I'm soaked to the skin...

:Who is this?!

:God...don't you recognize your neighbor? It's me Naya.

She quickly pulled herself together and went to open the passage.

 : Naya, I'm sorry,sorry, haha, something went blank in my head for a moment, of course I remember you, you almost grew into me, haha.

_for some reason, at some point, for an unknown reason, it seemed to me that I was somewhere else.

15 years ago:

 _Why does it smell like burning?

A beautiful dense forest engulfed in a huge fire. The elements have broken out over the pine trees - flames rise high above the trees, and large clouds of smoke, like a terrible monster trying to devour the entire sky. Many centuries ago, people tamed fire, thanks to which they began to warm their homes and cook food, but in the picture we can see how dangerous, terrifying and terrible this element can be.It was exactly how strong and free Iera imagined the fire to embrace the entire village. The flame is so colossal that in comparison the trees seem like dolls. It moves like a wall, burning everything that gets in its way, sparing nothing around. In the picture in front of her, she saw that the entire forest was consumed by fire, all the small fir trees, grass, and even giant mighty pines were burning. The flame is red-orange and ominous.

And in front, choking from black smoke and awaiting their inevitable death, stand the villagers and their small houses.

 ":Kha..ha..ha.."

 _we need to get out of here..._

Almost half of the village is filled with clouds of smoke, it is so thick and impenetrable that even sunlight cannot break through it, only a few rays reach the middle of Sunset.

The wind plays with the fire and carries it further and further. It seems that even she, who lives in the northern part, can hear the crackling of dying trees.

_mom, mom...we have to leave..._

Iera jumped out of bed but immediately fell to the floor, exhausted, her body seemed to fall like cotton wool every time she tried to get up and her eyes became more and more cloudy as the fire approached and the smell of burning intensified...

Dad... dad, she tried to get something through with her useless mouth, but fell unconscious halfway.

The noise continued to play near her ears, and the grace of the fire gradually began to go further and further.

When Iera came to her senses, the entire village turned ashen, no matter how hard she tried, she could not find her parents, and eventually gave up on finding them.

Present :

_maybe I was dreaming about those terrible memories again?_
