    Fire. Its everywhere I look. I continue running through the forest nevertheless. Must. Make it. To the. Cottage. The fire was spreading in the direction of the cottage through the trees surrounding me. A dragon had lit the trees afire. I looked behind me to make sure the dragon wasn't there following me. I finally made it to the clearing where the cottage used to be. It's gone. Burnt to ashes. I rummaged through the ashes real quick. 4 Skeletons. Mom, Dad, Danny and Anna. I started crying.

    AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGHGHGHGH!!!!

    I looked up rapidly and saw the dragon descending upon me then grabbed the closest weapon to me. A kenai knife. I turned my wrist over and sliced it open. The legends say that a human that has just made a vow must be left alone for the next 24 hours. "Upon this cut," I started, "I, Rowan Ryken, hereby vow to eliminate every dragon I encounter. And if I am to fail at succeeding this vow, then I will live with all remaining dragons for a year straight with no guarantee that I will live." I finished speaking as the dragon extended its claw towards me. It flinched when I finished and turned and flew away.
