Walks alone, in slight confusion and discomfort and a grand lack of purpose. Her master had kicked her out of his home after his wife managed to give birth, claiming that he no longer had time to train her as he had a family to maintain.
She had been walking for a few hours, still in disbelief. She had been walking with the events playing back in her mind. Her head focused on the grassy ground, and putting one foot ahead of another.

Looking upwards, She saw that she was nearing a village, and one that was burning.
