Soul Trade
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. And it continued to burn as it lit the dried out tinder box that the cabin had become. The curtains sizzled in a second, and the pest-ridden furniture met the same fate as flames licked up the walls and melted the windows that it touched. Smoke blackened the ones the fire’s outstretched hand had reached for, but was stopped in its path by the spray of water that emitted from the fire engine’s hose.

Descending the Mountain
There weren't always dragons in the Valley. Long ago, there were monsters that roamed the frozen land and terrorized the rest of creation. Hulking, insatiable beasts with trap-like jaws for crushing and claws for ripping apart anything unlucky enough to be within each. The dragons had arrived soon after those monsters and intended to make the Valley their home as well, but the bloodlust that overtook their equals became unbearable to their gentler nature. The dragons took flight as their wings enabled them to like no other beast could. They knew we were up there in the mountains, hiding in caves and surviving on melted snow and any scraps we could find.
