The air above the forest was hazy and as the trees began to decay under its breath, she wished she'd joined them sooner. Each footstep sent the world into a frenzied earthquake-state, the damage already dealt by military and militant civilians alike only injuring it and destabilising its chaotic footsteps.
The poor thing, and yes she still felt some pity for it after hearing its cries of agony and its present whimpers, as it staggered deeper inland. She reckoned it must be trying to escape from humans and the pain they'd inflicted on it but surely it realised that it was hurting the world around it?
Surely it could see all the dying animals around and beneath it?
She was miles away from its head but she saw the saline ponds left behind by its tears.
