Heart of Fire
-There weren’t always dragons in the Valley. Griffin had two miles left to go, the heat on his back and neck slowing him to a crawl. A mile down the path was a small creek, big enough to drink from but too small to cool the fire roasting the back of his body. He had to stay low and move only when he was certain it was safe to do so. Any misstep would mean his life, and the life of his newborn baby girl. He needed to get the medicine to her soon, or she would surely die from the fever. He checked the sky and the surrounding mountains and took off at a sprint. As the sparse copse of trees loomed up ahead, he noticed a shudder in the small bushes surrounding the trunks. His heart leapt in his chest, but he had to keep going. Stopping out in the open was not an option. He needed cover. As he ducked below the smallest branches and into the safety of the brush, he felt eyes upon him, and he swung around with his sword ready for battle. Looking back at him was a tiny set of eyes and dirty blond hair coated with soot and black ash. For what seemed like an eternity, they both stared at one another not moving an inch, wary but thankful to not be facing down the jaws of death.
