“Help!” Tara shrieked.
“Help!” a voice echoed hers. “Fire!”
Tara’s eyes flew open. In front of her was a crackling wall of fire. Flames shot out, singing her skin. Had Lord Yama transported her to the Underworld already or was she in a very real dream? She stared at the flames, paralyzed by the orange and red swirling within its depths.
“TARA, MOVE!” Parvati shrieked.
And then it hit her; their hut was aflame. It wasn’t a dream at all.
