Sonia and the spirit of the crawling fire


While she was in the forest to try to pick some wild plants, fruits, roots edible .... She arrives in front of a big tree where is placed on its flank a large scale vulgarly constructed with multiple logs of Wood tied to each other with a cord of hemp woven .... she Scrute around expecting to see a panther appear whatever it is .... She listens to the noises around scrutinizing the semi-darkness of this part very Leafy forest where the light has difficulty lightening the ground strewn with twigs, thorny bushes running with their long branches full of thorns on the ground intermingling with the roots of trees and other plants like ferns that grow Drilled in height trying to capture the little luminousness that filters between the leaves of trees ... Sonia having heard no other sounds than the cries of the wild animals and the song of the birds, she decides to go and visit to see this hut built in the big tree, which can now be seen looking at the pit of the tree ... She climbs slowly trying to make the slightest noise listening carefully any other noise that only a person could do ... she continues to climb the wooden ladder somewhat worm-eaten in places, the wood cracks under her weight. ... Finally Sonia arrives on a platform constructed with the same materials as the ladder, but she also feels the heat and crackle of a fire, giant flames emerge from a kind of cabin burning the wood on its way, the Fire licks the branches of the tree making crackle and explode in thousand small sparks charred leaves, burnt wood smells soot, moisture suddenly dried ... Entering the hut, the door seems to have been smashed with a blow of ax ... the smoke inside is acrid and suffocating, she places her arm on her mouth cover it to avoid breathing the hot vapors and the smoke, then she look Inside looking for any object that she could use to go to draw water in the river not far from here, finally she finds a kind of basin dug in a large piece of wood, she seizes it and descends The staircase runs all the way to the river so as to draw a maximum of water the utensil ... once filled she hurries half running half running while trying to keep as much water in The basin ... once on the terrace, Sonia jets the water on the flames ... then she returns to the river running to start again... After countless travel between the fire and the river, Sonia seems exhausted ... Her hair are shaggy, her whole body black and the soot of the fire, her hair seems burnt, even her eyebrows burned without her realizing it ... her heart beats the shuffle almost to the brink of The explosion so much she provided effort for after a very long fight with the fire finally she won, a few small flames here and there peck the blackened floor of the hut that Sonia hurries to crush under her Feet still smoked.... Sitting on the floor, Sonia gently takes her breath, her chest swells and empties with each breath, her throat burns miasma of smoke trapped in her lung, she coughs, suffocates half ... She is still alive, she wants to shout her joy, she comes alone to fight their worst enemy the Fire ... she feels relieved, her shoulders sags as she begins to relax after her enormous effort to Extinguish the fire ... Sonia begins to think, slowly as her entire corps rests on the still smoking floor of the hut, she thinks of the stupid person who by setting fire to this tree nearly burned the whole forest and may even make them disappear her own camp under the aggressiveness of a gigantic forest fire, she feels relieved but angry she swears for herself that one day she will capture the unscrupulous person and will make her pay dearly for this unconscious act ... Then suddenly as she gets up, standing in support on the calcined wall, she utters a cry, a powerful cry full of menace that echoe through the forest from trees to trees, a cry of victory springing from the deepest Of her being ..... She just saved the forest from a gigantic fire ... Sonia saved their camp and all the woods alone ... Sonia feels strong at this moment she feels the queen Of the forest that she has just saved from a long agony by the devouring fire ...
