Frozen in Place
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window,” I started re-counting the story of what happened to my cousin Jake and me to our neighbors. The neighbors are family friends to our family for generations who owned a cottage to the left of our cabin, on Cold Water Lake in Pennsylvania. It was common for them to come over after dinner as we all sat around the roaring campfire with a great view of the lake and shoot the breeze. The smell of charred apple wood and smoke had always been my favorite aroma.

The Lost Dragons of Meirwood Valley
There weren't always dragons in the valley, yet the smoke filled air drew the attention of an elvin scout named Oisín. It was commonly believed that dragons had been hunted to extinction. However, whispers from a few who survived the Great Battle of Ethera, swore they saw a couple escaped flying west towards the Cieronia Islands never to have been seen again. Hoping the source of the smoke came from a lightning strike in the sacred valley, where he and his hunting party followed a herd of Caretyne deer, he chose to go and check it out. Oisín climbed up the ridgeline and was not prepared for what he saw; a blackened landscape scorched by flames with no signs of life below. The once verdant green forest hiding the remenants of the town from the seige, now is a wasteland dotted with black twisted sticks where trees once stood. Embers still emit a red glow as a light breeze occasionally stirs the white ashes illuminating the descruction thoughout the valley. It is clear, dragons are definitely back in the Valley of Meirwood.
