<<<<<Flashback On>>>>>

I was with my family in our house. I was just a little girl at the time. My parents were cooking dinner and my brother and I were playing board games.

- I'll beat you, Dash! - My brother says as he throws the dice.

- In your dreams, Britz! - I say and watch him play.

My piece was a good 12 steps ahead of his.

- That's it!" he celebrates when his die lands on No. 6.

- Remember, Britz, I'm still 6 steps ahead of you - I smiled.

- "Ah, you clever thing," he says, ruffling my mane.

- Children! Come to dinner! - My mother shouts from the kitchen.

I look at my brother with a fearless smile on my face.

- How about a race?

- I'll do it! Whoever comes last is the frog's wife! - He says and then flies off as fast as lightning.

- Hey! That's cheating! - I shouted and flew after him.

We ran through the house until we reached the kitchen. Britz was in front of me. As an older man, he had his advantages.

- I won! - He shouts enthusiastically. I came up behind him

- Hey! You cheated! - I grumble.

- Do you think I'll cheat just because I'm older? Dash, Dash, don't kid yourself. You know I'm amazing!

- I'm more amazing than you!

- No way! I am.

- I am!

- I'm the one!

- You both have big egos, for Celestia's sake! - My mother says with a laugh.

- Mom! The race wasn't fair! - I beg almost crying.

- Of course it was! - My brother retorts back.

- Stop it, both of you! - My father orders, and then not another peep is heard - I declare that you've both won - Sighs are heard - Now, let's eat. I'm starving!

Era hora de dormir. Eu estava no meu quarto, que era compartilhado com meu irmão. Britz dormia na cama ao lado da minha.

- Boa noite, maninha - Meu irmão sussurra e beija minha testa.

- Boa noite, Britz - Eu respondo e o abraço.

Eu só nunca imaginei que aquela seria nossa última noite juntos.

It was bedtime. I was in my room, which was shared with my brother. Britz was sleeping in the bed next to mine.

- Good night, little sister - my brother whispers and kisses my forehead.

- Good night, Britz - I reply and hug him.

I just never imagined that it would be our last night together.

I wake up to the sound of shouting. Slowly, I open my eyes, only to see flames above me. I jump

out of bed in one jump and start looking around.

Everything was clear, but it wasn't daylight. I could feel the heat on my skin and the smoke in my nose.
