"Daddy!! Daddy!! Please help us!" A man dressed in a black cloak who was sleeping in a near by cave had just woken up from a nightmare he just had. The man shaken by the voice he heard in his dream shook him to his core, as he remembers the life he once had many years ago.

400 years ago.
"Daddy! Daddy! You're finally home!" Said the little girl as she jumped into her fathers arms. "There's my wonderful little girl!, how was your day? Did you behave?" The man asked.
"Mhmm sure did you can ask mommy!" Said the girl so full of joy and so full of life. As the little girl said that a woman with with long dark brown hair walked out of the kitchen and called her daughters name "Come on Rose, go get washed up dinner is almost ready." Said the brown haired lady. The man carrying his daughter in his arms approaches the his wife and gives her a kiss on the lips greeting each other. "Okay mommy" said Rose as her father put her down and she ran to the bathroom to wash her hands. "There's my wonderful husband. How was your day today?" Asked the brunette. "Like any other day I guess, except there was this eerie atmosphere in the air like something bad is going to happen, I can't wrap my head around what it exactly was" "I doubt it's anything major perhaps your magic senses are getting duller due to old age" the brunette laughs. "Im still young I'm only in my mid 20s" the happy couple laugh.As soon as he finishes saying that his daughter Rose walks back from the bathroom ready for dinner. The happy family sit and have dinner enjoying each other's company talking about there day like they usually do. When all of a sudden a loud roar can be heard echoing through out the village, alarming everyone and causing a bit of panic. "What was that?!" Asked the man. "I don't know but I have a bad feeling." Answers the wife. When out of no where a huge thud is heard and cracking of trees being broken and villagers yelling for there lives.

Villager: Run!!! They're here!!!!
The man looks at his wife and daughter and grabs onto them. "Stay here and look for cover!" "Wait where are you goin?!!" Asked the wife. "I'm going to take a look outside and see what the commotion is about." The wife gave her husband a sad and worried look. "Don't worry Violet I'll be right back okay I promise." He kisses his wife as well as his daughter and runs outside to check what is going on. As the man makes his way outside and into the village the sight he sees is straight out of a battlefield, houses burning, civilians running around panicking, dead bodies laying on the ground, the smell of burnt flesh fills the air as it hits the man's nose like a magic bullet. Women, men, elderly, even children are all dead. No one was safe from this inhumane attack. The man continues to walk around the village trying to find a clue a hint anything as to why the village was in utter chaos. "What the hell happened?!" He covers his nose so the smoke won't enter his lungs when he sees a villager nearly half dead holding on to life by a string. He runs towards the villager desperately trying to help the villager out of the rubble that has fallen on him. "What happened here?!" Asks the man. The villager holding on the to man with the last bit of his strength whispers... "Dragons" as the villager let's out his final breath and his souls leaves his body. The mans eyes widened as a silhouette of a dragon flies above him. He then realizes the direction the dragon is heading. "Violet...rose..." he runs as fast as he possibly can ignoring the smoke the destroyed building even the corpse laying on the ground all he wants to do is make it to his family and make sure they are safe. As he arrives to his home his fears have become a reality his home destroyed and in flames. He rushes to the downed building trying to remove the bricks of debris that where once his home. Desperately he yells out his wife's name along with his daughter "VIOLET!!! ROSE!!!...oh dear god please let them be safe I beg of you!" "Daddy!! Daddy! Please help!!" The man hears his daughters voice calling out to him. He runs in the direction of the voice as he sees his daughter heavily injured laying next to her mother.

Rose: Daddy....
The daughter says with tears in her eyes. The father sliding on the ground grabbing holding his daughter in his arms not letting go. He then glances at his wife who in worse condition then his daughter. "Violet! Thank the heavens you're okay! I'll help you okay don't worry I'll figure something out!"
