Dragons and Other Disasters
There weren’t always dragons in the valley, but in a night of flood and fire, they appeared, ravaging one of the town's main streets. I was already awake when the screams and shouts started, but the monstrous screech was what set me up in bed. Soon after the sound, I saw a soft red light glowing behind the curtains. I went to the window and pulled back the curtains to find several buildings fully ablaze and people running in the street. Alarmed, I ran to the front door, stepping into my sandals before exiting into the hall and down the stairs in only my nightgown.
