*This short story is included in the Legacy of Rukara collection: Salt & Cinder.

Life has always been tough in the great grasslands known as the Heramear. For years, a young girl named Jhin has lived in the plains with her father, hunting and fishing across the broad wilderness, while the memories of her childhood, memories of another life, slowly fade away. But her father hears the whispers on the wind, the rumours of war rising throughout the barbarian tribes, and knows it is time to head home.

Together they join a small merchant caravan heading east across the plains, leaving the Heramear and crossing the ruined expanse called the Redfall. The journey is long, and with the rest of the caravan, Jhin and her father search for a better life. But the plains are filled with dangers greater than Jhin's father expects, and soon the caravan must face the wrath of the barbaric kinasahr, fierce nomads of the plains hunting for answers of their own.
