Dragon

I saw my village off in the distance. I hadn’t been back in 5 years. I hadn’t heard much about it in the years that I’d been gone, as I was too busy with my travels to even care. If only I had listened to them, I would have come back sooner. I would have kept them all safe. But, I think that this was also my fault, because out of all the places I explored, one of those places was a cave. I took an amulet that I thought I could sell. Turns out everyone though that it was cursed or that there was something bad about it. Of course I continued to hang onto it, and once I felt that I was done with my travels, I headed back. Now ... I watch as my entire town is burning, right in front of my eyes. There’s only one thing that I can do to fix things, and that, is to go down there and let the dragon take me. There’s not much that it’s going to do for those who are already being eaten by the flames and the dragons angry maw, but it will be penance for causing all of this to happen. I doubt that I’ll survive, but I won’t just sit around and watch while everyone dies because of me. My smell was strong enough here that the dragon must have believed that I was still there. I don’t know what else to do, other than to push down my fear, and carry on into the dragons fire.
