Pike POV

I travel alone to Emon and the city still burns while remaining civilians are in a line. Carrying anything that values for the dragon. Soon I head toward the front as the fire dragon emerged out of the fire.

Thordak: (Disappointed.) Your offering grow ever smaller.

After he finished, the other dragons appear around him as everyone gasp.

Thordak: I trust the remaining treasure has been wrung from Emon?

Raishan: As you commanded, Thordak. Every last ounce delivered to your feet.

Umbrasyl: And Wetruun is on the brink of ruin, my king.

Thordak: More are soon to follow. And once all is in order, the entire realm shall quake in our shadow.

Soon he looks at all of us and speaks.

Thordak: As for your kind, it seems your useless baubles are no longer needed.

Pike: Run! Run!

Civilians gasp and drop their valuables before they desperately run for their lives. But soon he immediately breathes a fire at everyone. Wiping out everyone before I immediately wake up from my meditation as I breath heavily.

Grog: Whoa, whoa. Are you okay?

Pike: (Panting.) No. The dragons, they're moving. Expanding across Tal'Dorei.

Grog: Uh, you saw 'em in your head?

Pike: A vision granted by the Everlight. The red one. The others called him Thordak. He just....wiped them out. I...I couldn't save them...

Keyleth POV

Grog comforts Pike as she sobs quietly while everyone is worried.

Keyleth: I know we come from all over even from another world for YN, but Emon was the first place that accepted us. It kind of felt like our home.

Percy: They even gave us a title.

Vex: And we'll live up to it, once when we find the tomb and that fucking vestige.

Suddenly we see Vax appear and landed close before telling us the good news.

Vax: Well, I've got good news and bad news on that front.

Scanlan: 'Kay. Good stuff first.

Vax: I found the lake Osysa told us about over the next ravine.

Vex: Fantastic. Let's go.

Percy: Wait. (To Vax.) The bad news?

Vax was quiet at the moment until he breaks it.

Vax: Come see for yourself.

The group nods and follows Vax, but I notice YN was sitting quietly by the tree.

Keyleth: Hey, YN?...YN? YN.

YN: Huh? Oh, hey.

Keyleth: Are you okay? You've been quiet ever since.

YN: Its nothing. Just got distracted. Did Vax came back?

Keyleth: Yeah, he said he found the lake.

YN: Oh, that's good.

YN gets up before we catch up to the others.

Keyleth: Still thinking about what Osysa said to you?

YN takes a deep breath before he answers.

YN: Yes...she knows about my past, even...
