The Rogue Dragon
Though the villagers felt the immense shake of the crash they disregarded it instantly only grateful that the dragon hadn’t crashed in their village. The dragon had most likely landed in the Forest of Shadows outside the village to rest. It was uninhabited so there would be no concern that any lives would be lost as long as they didn’t do or say anything to encourage an attack.

The Ordeal
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. The few windows that opened to the outside of the village had long ago been blacked out—the paint secured with magic when such fanciful things still existed in the world. Somehow, through all odds, a small hole had been etched in the paint, a tiny glimpse into the world beyond the village walls. It was gray, desolate and windswept. Scraggly ironbrush dotted the landscape as far as the eye could see, their thorns glinting in the watery light. Jutting out of the hazy horizon was the Alchemist’s Tower, a spire of gray rock eroded by wind and rain, tall enough to glimpse over the wall.

The Outside
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. Her father was lucky enough to have a top floor room. Even so the window was level with the ground, and little could be seen but red soil and a deep blue sky. She stood on her tip toes, grasping the rough edge of stone sill. The glass was impenetrably thick, and dust coated it. But she was looking for something. Twice she had sneaked into this room and seen movement out there in that unknown world. Or she thought she had. Today she was looking for proof. Just a glimpse. Something to prove her mother right and her father wrong.

The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. That small and lonely window was the only view of the free world remaining, which is why he hid it behind a painting. Kaiden and Elise couldn’t afford to let the last remnant of an abandoned hope die out with their ancestors. Kaiden made sure to hide the portal to the outside world from the authorities every chance he had for that reason.

The Last Window of Apollo. Runner-Up in Behind the Last Window Challenge.
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room... She glanced down at the papyrus on her lap. The hot flames bit at her nostrils as she struggled to finish her inscription before the fires finished their consumption of Troy.
