I woke up at 7:00 like I do every morning. but something just didn''t feel right in the house there was something off. it wasn''t a smell or anything like that it was just a feeling that something was wrong and something bad was going to happen. as I was running through the house to find my uncle because if this bad feeling. I heard a roaring noise outside and people screaming. then the smell of fire and burning flesh entered my noise. when i ran outside i was presented with a site that will haunt me. i saw most of the houses in the village burning with a dark black flame. there were people running down the street trying to flee but the black fire that was alive as it followed them. It would jump off the houses and hive chase as if the flames were drifting in the wind they would pursue. when the flames caught up to someone it would engulf their entire body turning everything to ash. whenever one of the flames consumed someone it would grow bigger and move faster engulfing more and more people as it traveled through the village. Luckily there was none of the black flames near me. when i looked down the street towards the source of the black flames. what i saw was a giant dark black dragon with deep glowing red eyes completely cover in black flames that were crawling and moving around the dragons body like living creatures. it was spewing black flames everywhere and eating people left and right as they tried to escape with their lives intact. It was then that i noticed my uncle was running towards from the opposite direction that the dragon with a giant black bag on his shoulder. when he finally reached my side he was frantic. He was yelling at me telling me to grab the black bag and run. He keep saying run drair run keep running and never look back . (Note: thats a forrest gump reference) He then also said drair i will find again when the time is right. This book is hosted on another platform.

It was then that I saw my uncle stormblessed fighting the black flamed dragon. he was dodging all of the black flames that were chasing him as he jumped around the dragon stabbing it with his his sword whenever he had an opening to attack. He attacked with lightning speed as he stabbed all of the vital areas he could. It was then as i was turning around to continue running i saw one the black flames sneak behind at jump at him. He wasn''t fast enough to dodge the sneak attack. The flame then engulfed his back when the one flame hit 5 other flames attacked just after that. he was only able to deflect one the flames the others completely engulfed him. even when he was covered in the flames he still fought the dragon. after another second or so he wasn''t able to resist the flames that were running on him and he was burnt to crisp. When he was completely burned the black flames then jumped off and went to look for a new target. i then just started running again I ran as fast as my legs could carry i didn''t stop until i had collapsed from exhaustion.
