Clara
Experience Level
2/5
Remarks
It was a very bright orange at first and then grew dimmer as it moved across the sky. Just as it was about to disappear beyond the treeline, it \"extinguished\" and it was as black as charcoal...just as visible against the dimming sky as it was when it was on fire.
