Fire. Burning Flesh. Screaming. Luna. Fire. Burning Flesh. Screaming. Luna. Fire. Burning Flesh. Screaming. Luna.
"Luna, you can't go!" Recluse shouted.
"Recluse, I have to! You know I do! Think of the tribe, of our dragonets! They will hatch within the month!" Luna argued.
"I know! That's why I have to go, I'm not going to be near good of a parent as you! You stay with the eggs, I go, I'll go save them!" Recluse screamed with tears in his eyes.
"I am the fighter-"
"That is why you have to stay! You'll take better care of them!" Luna said. She slid her talons into his. "Promise me, you will take care of them."
"Luna, this is ridiculous!"
"Recluse, promise. "
"I promise.. Now you promise that you'll come back to me!" Recluse said in a trembling voice.
"I promise that I will try my best to come back to you, okay? We will, we will raise our dragonets together happily." Luna said. She also had tears in her eyes.
There was a scream.
Luna started running towards the fire.
"Wait!" Recluse shouted. "I love you," he said as she looked back to him.
"I love you too Recluse, I will come back! Take care of our dragonets!" Luna flew into the fire.
Half an hour had passed, Recluse looked at the eggs, and back at the fire. He needed to go. As he stood up, he heard screaming, it was Luna. He flew as fasts as he could to the burning flames, he saw the tribe, dead, burned up bodies, the smell of flesh in the air, and he still didn't find Luna. He searched, sweat on his brow, it was hot. After long search, he saw her body. He screamed, cried, holding her hot, burned up body.

Cohar stopped his conversation with Myrtle, to hear screaming from inside the cabin.
