"Run!" my brother screamed.
"Fire! Run!" Someone screamed outside of my house.
And I did, I felt the searing flames engulfing the other homes. I ran and ran, my brother, leading the way. We ran to the edge of the lake. My brother abruptly stopped. I hid behind him. It was so hot your eyes could feel it. Surrounding us were burning homes, flowers, trees, and all kinds of shrubbery. My brother pushed me into the water. When I emerged on the surface a hooded figure was dragging him away. I swim out of the water and start following them yelling at the top of my lungs. Shadow dragons circled in the air. The other mages tried to stop them but in vain. My heart was screaming. They are taking my older brother! I scream and scream like there is no tomorrow. The hooded figure looks up at me. I can see his dark cold eyes.
"GIVE ME MY BROTHER!" I roared at him. He just stared at me and kept dragging my seven-year-old brother's struggling figure away. I ran after them but I was too slow. 
"NO ONE TAKES MY BROTHER AWAY!" I roared again. But he paid no further attention to me. My brother stepped on his foot and kicked him in the stomach. The hooded figure yelps and grits his teeth and drags him further, faster. I am five, I'm a big kid! I'm going to get him this instant or that man will pay. I trip and fall on a root on the ground, but when I stand up again he is gone.
 He was coming back, right?

I knew I would find him one day...
