I'm deep in the forest in Azizi when I stumble upon a girl. She fits the description: sinewy with caramel brown skin and naturally highlighted copper curls, she looks like a walking flame. I watch silently from the trees as she tries to start a fire with two sticks. Her hands are small and inept, and she fails. But then, she snaps her fingers and a small, flickering flame blooms from her fingertips. My breath catches — it's her. It's the girl I've been seeking for weeks.
