The swarms of Abu Qerdan fly in the endless space, looking for what remains of the green color that has left with the outbreak of fire from Sotita, daughter of the guard of Noor Al-Qardati.

The eyes of the small swarm are looking for worms from above, and they find nothing but the yellow of the Great Desert, which extends thousands of kilometers long, surrounded by tongues of flames that have been touching space since five days ago.

The eyes of the large swarm caught some of the cactus plants scattered in the middle of the vast desert near the tents of Ghajar Rahima, so the squadron leader issued a signal to land, followed by the rest of the squadron, and the rest of the Abu Qerdan swarms continued to land.

Orangutans hover around the green arms covered with yellow and the faces of thorns, which are covered with drops of water, so that the sky is free of a small cloud in the large area.

Thousands of long beaks extend digging into the circles surrounding the cactus.. Abu Qerdan's youth succeed in finding twenty worms with a length of a thousand from the swarm, and they present them to the young and the elderly before they breathe their last.

The swarms regain their ability to fly after they came to the end of the feast, in addition to the cactus plants, and the yellowish-green leaves into nothingness.

The swarms of Abu Qardan continue their journey of searching for new trees to live in instead of the burning ones because of Sotita, the daughter of the guard of Nour al-Qardati, who lit her fires to spread warmth so that the guard of Nour al-Qardati and his monkey would not die from the severity of the cold of his brick, which turned the water into ice and caused the death of two hundred elderly people and three hundred children The infants until the cemeteries of Tal Shuwaikh were filled, so the family began to build new cemeteries to receive the coming residents.

The swarms form large circles until the flight speed of the old and young decreases, and they turn into squares, rectangles, and triangles that vanish as they return to their starting point over the flames that devoured the nests of Abu Qerdan above and below their tall trees.

The bodies of the young and old increase from the falling swarm along the extended flames, so the belly of the fire expands to devour the hill and ten nearby hills. Cleaning the land to re-cultivate it.. The swarms were satiated and slept in their place until dawn, when the sounds of cows mooing and the bleating of goats and sheep woke them up. Joy filled the eyes of Abu Qirdan with the return of some of the surviving farmers, accompanied by their livestock, to restore life to the land of Tal Shweeh, which caused its great fire, the monkey Maymoon, which was touched by fire The stove of Suteh, the daughter of the guard of Noor Al-Qardati, so he jumped to catch fire in his back and spread it to all the houses of the hill and the neighboring hills.

The flocks of Abu Qerdan accepted the remaining peasants alive, who took water from the wells of the hill to the drains leading to the land of the fire to extinguish so that the flocks could rebuild their nests on the burning barren trees, hoping for greenery..
