Greying rock shattered and boulders flew from the side of the mountain as a tremor rippled across the staunch backbone of the earth. Crashing and raining rubble settled into silence and clouds of dust arose in the air.

Below the white peaks in the valley beyond villagers gathered in amazement of the spectacle; standing upon the hillside above their wooden houses to gaze at the commotion in the distance.

A small child clutched the dress of her mother, half filled with fright, the rest consumed with awe. The noise died down and an elder proclaimed it a mere landslide.
The people accepted his words and turned to go home, keen to leave the chill of the wind outside.

The child reluctantly followed her mother, hand in hand, glancing back at the settling clouds of dust in the distance.

The ground fell into darkness for an instant and a scream echoed from the village below.
Roofs were set ablaze in the wake of the black monstrosity in the sky, blossoming in red and amber. More screams reached the ears of the child as its mother lifted it into her arms and began running, terror vivid in her glazed eyes and pale features.

The child saw it's home engulfed by fire over the shoulder of its mother and moving figures enveloped in flames, running and writhing on the ground.

A deafening roar reverberated through the valley as the shadow rose high into the sky; a molten torrent streaming from its jaws and illuminating it's black, scaled hide and gigantic wings.

The fire in the sky grew larger, even as the mother ran away from the village.
The child's eyes grew wide in petrification as rippling hot tendrils raced towards them.

The flames dispersed and the ground lay scorched, all vegitation burned from the side of the mountain. The charred frames of houses collapsed and the cracked bones of the inhabitants lay still.

Only the husks of the mother and child lay smoldering in the wake.

The shadow departed the village, flying east.

--Leaves Mountains of Daulinen--
--Enters Nevir Wood--
Nemo me impune lacessit.
