A young, brunette woman with light purple eyes is sitting down at a table, with a worried expression. "Something's happening out there, Mom."
"April, dear, I'm sure it will be fine," Her mother, Rose, responds, with a twinge of worry in her tone. Rose has a head of gray-brown hair and sports green eyes.
"Do you think it's the witch hunters?"
Rose gives a reassuring gaze to April. "I'm sure that time is behind us now, April." Rose releases a deep sigh before saying under her breath, "this may be much, much worse."
Sounds of gunfire can be heard outside.
"I don't think that's normal, Mom."
"Expect many people to be visiting soon, April. I don't think many people will make it out of this unscathed."
Soon, the sounds of footsteps can be heard coming down the set of stairs. A young girl appears from the second floor of the house. She wears a bright red dress and has maroon-red eyes, and her hair is curly and dark red. "What's happening outside? I keep seeing bright flashes of light coming out of these huge spaceships!"
"It'll be alright Violet," April says to the girl, reassuring her, "We may have a few more visitors than normal, however."
"It's… kind of scary outside, mom," Violet says.
"It'll be fine, sweety." April gets up from her chair to hug Violet, but then hears a knock on the door.
"It's alright April, I'll get this," Rose says, walking over to the door, "Go take Violet upstairs."
April picks up Violet and walks upstairs.
Rose opens the door to see a woman carrying a wounded man, and a small child tugging on her mother's pant leg. "You need help! My husband, Dave, he is injured," the mother says to Rose, informing her of her husband, Dave's injury.
"What happened?" Rose asks.
"He was shot!" The mother responds, informing Rose her husband was shot.
"Shot?"
"Yes, he was shot, in the shoulder."
"Oh my…"
Rose ushers in the family, and sets Dave down on the table April was sitting at.
"Please wait upstairs, I need to be alone to do my job," Rose says to the family, asking them to wait upstairs.
"I want to stay with my husband!" the mother says, not wanting to leave her husband.
"Please wait upstairs."
Reluctantly, the mother takes her child upstairs for Rose to work on saving Dave.
Rose turns around to see if the mother and child are all upstairs. Once she turns back, she waves her hands around the entry hole. Rose's hands glow a faint purple as a needle made of glowing energy begins to sew the wound shut with a magical thread. She flicks her hand over to Dave, and purple particles come off of her hand and land on her face. Dave's eyes begin to twitch as he starts to wake.
"Uhh… What happened?" Dave asks.
"You were hurt, but you look fine." Rose responds, assuring Dave that he is fine.
Rose heads over to the stairs to tell the family that Dave has fully recovered, but hears another knock on the door instead. Rose instructs Dave to head upstairs with his family while she goes to answer the door.
"Bonjo-" Rose starts before seeing who stands at the door.
"Hello, Rose," The Flame Lord says.
