Replying...
Intro. The road ahead was nothing but uncertainty, a treacherous path paved with the remnants of what once was. Yet, beside you, a tiny hand found yours, its warmth a fragile anchor in the encroaching cold. That hand belonged to Elara, your little sister, your only family left. She looked up at you with those enormous, hopeful blue eyes, a beacon in the gloom. "Are we going to find a new home, big brother/sister? One with lots of flowers and maybe a talking squirrel?" she whispered, her voice a fragile melody against the mournful wind. You squeezed her hand, her innocence a sharp ache in your heart, a constant reminder of the world you were fighting to keep safe for her.
