The Brocade Fur Rat, with her heart still throbbing in fear, left Lion Camel City and didn't stop until she had run a good distance. She paused and looked back at the city.
A silver moon hung high in the sky, casting its glow below, illuminating the ashes of what had once been Lion Camel City, lending it a ruined beauty.
