1 Screams of Hope

I was born in captivity, hidden from the rays of light and the sky's we so often fly in. I've never known my parents. Being held underground for most of my life to do basic menial tasks of moving rocks around for my master, I've been upstairs before but only once I felt a breeze.

One day a loud explosion was heard from upstairs, making the ceiling shake and let loose some rocks. when I walked to the door upstairs and pushed my muzzle on it, the door itself crumbled down shinning light on my face making me back away from the exit forcing me to create incomprehensible noises at the same time.

When I built up enough courage, I went to where the door was and pushed at it to see only where the upstairs was to be completely decimated. All gone, the master was not in sight either, so with shaking legs I stepped outside of what formally use to be my masters home to the smell of smoke and small flames still burning down what was left.

I made it to where the backdoor once was and walked through it, when I felt someone looking at me and so I turned around and saw a human looking at me with his mouth agape, when I caught sight of him I backed up into a part of the building that was still standing, backing up too fast making the part of the building collapse making a loud sound, scaring me more so I left through where the backdoor used to be.

My first day outside was full of exploration and light, so many new things trees, grass light that glimmered as if it had an unending love to give life. I took a deep breath in and didn't breathe in dust but fresh air when I heard a sound coming from the village that scared me once again.

Unknown1: If you won't come out with all your gold we will gladly burn down your home too!

Unknown 2: Please don't hurt us take all our gold but just spare us!

I see a bag full of and copper and silver coins fly out but no gold.

Unknown1: This is what you call gold! This is your last chance. Give us all your gold or parish!

Unknown2: That's all we have! please don't kill us!

Unknown1: Kill them all.

I then saw the man grab the bag and throw it back at the building before two more reddish-orange orbs were sent out at the bag, causing it to also glow bright red. Right as that happens the bag rips open and the copper and silver fly out being spread out all over their house causing smaller fires all over their house, as the people inside the house started to scream as it started to burn when another man came up to them, he looked panicked.

Panicked man: Sir there is a dragon here! should we stop the raid?

Unknown1: No, Everything here, must be burned to the floor! that includes these slaves!

When they stopped talking he pointed to the trees where I was standing and said "Kill That Dragon!"
