-Jon's POV-
I rushed inside Dragon Fortress. I probably could have died instantly from the intense heat, but I somehow lived. All I did was move forward, without looking back. There was something that I knew I had to do.
-3 Years Ago-
It was a day like any other day in Dovacath at the time. The streets were silent and few people were outside. No crime anywhere as I was on my way to Dovacath's best shop to buy a gift. When I got there, nobody was inside.
Since nobody was there, I waited for the shopkeeper to return. Fortunately, I only had to wait a few minutes. I went inside and talked to him. The gift I wanted to buy was a bracelet for my girlfriend.
"The item you've requested has been prepared." he said.
"Thank you." I responded.
"That will be seventeen gold coins." said the shopkeeper.
I reached into my pocket and pulled out seventeen gold coins.
"Here's exactly seventeen." I said, handing him all seventeen of them.
After that, ran outside of the store and rushed toward my girlfriend's house. I knocked on the door as soon as I got there, but nothing happened.
"Lilith!" I yelled, but nothing happened.
I grabbed the doorknob and I managed to open the door. I ran inside and realized that the house was empty. I ran outside and went into the forest. I couldn't find Lilith. Then I remembered I could use my whistle. About a year ago, she taught me how to play a certain song.
I got my whistle out and I started to play that song. After I played the song, I appeared in a strange room. The walls were made of stone and the room was lit by torches. There was somebody else in the room as well.
"Lilith…" I said.
"Get out." she responded.
"But…why?" I asked.
"This does not concern you," she answered, "so stay away from Dragon Fortress!"
"Dragon what?" I responded.
"Go," replied Lilith, "I can't let you interfere."
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"Something that hasn't been done in fifty years," she answered, "You must leave now!"
"Why? What caused you to want to do this?" I asked.
"You do not need to know." she answered, "Now leave!"
"But-"
"LEAVE!!"
I ran out of the fortress and headed straight for Dovacath. This is when I ended up fighting the dragon in town. I had a feeling that I would be released again some time. At present, I am searching Dragon Fortress, hoping to save my girlfriend.
-Present Day-
I dashed through the fire-filled hallways as I searched for Lilith. I eventually found her.
"GO!" she yelled.
"I'm not going without you!" I exclaimed.
"Are you an idiot!?" she exclaimed, "Hurry and get out or you'll die!"
"I'm not leaving without you…even if it means I'll end up dying!" I answered.
"GO!" she replied.
"Come with me." I requested, "My life isn't the same without you."
"I-"
"Come with me if you want to live."
I grabbed her hand and we went straight for the door. We kept running, not looking back.
-Lilith's POV-
Jon was squeezing my hand. It was too tight for me to try to run away from him. I really wanted to run off and die after all of the things that I had done. But, I had to let him old my hand as we ran toward the exit. On our way out, Jon let go and fell to the ground, where I saw him burn to death. This picture was stuck in my mind.
