Arthur's pov:
When I wake up, I see ruins all around me, like the city was destroyed. What happened here? I think, when I stand up, I see that I am holding what looks like a sword. I wasn't holding this when I fell, what happened to me?
I look around and see a fire in the distance, so I start walking in that direction, hoping I might find someone that can help me figure out what is going on.
I see someone so when I think I am in ear shot I shout "hey! Can you help me?" they turn quickly, I see flames, then black, again.
When I wake up later, I hear two people talking, well, let me refrase that, someone was yelling at someone else, my ears are ringing so I can't hear what they are saying, I look around a see a kid, no more then 4 or 5 years old, sitting on a log next to the fire.
Are these two married? I think. "no we're not" the person that was yelling at the guy that had been sitting by the fire before I fell unconscious.
"did I say that out loud?" I ask. "yes" the women says. By now the ringing has stopped.

A few minutes later I am sitting next to the fire across from the three people that were here before I was, so I ask "what happened to the city?" they look at each other confused, "you mean you don't know?" the guy asks. "what do you mean?" I ask. "we are dead" the kid, a girl I guessed based on the fact that she is wearing a skirt, said sadly. "WHAT?!" I shout, but before I could ask anymore questions, I feel something behind me.
