She knew something was wrong when silence engulfed the land. Then the mountain turned to fire and a heart stopping screech was pinned in the air. The earth rumbled beneath her feet and she wobbled on the hill. "Quickly" Kyla spoke to the bird "Go, warn the others that it is time." And with that the bird flew high into the air and disappeared into the sunset. She ran down the hill and saw the others coming her way. "What is that? What shall we do?" Harriea asked. The screech was closer and screams were coming from the town. Fire was jumping up to the trees. "Harriea get the people from the town and lead them towards the mountain where they will be safe." Kyla said to her. Harriea dashed off to the town. Fergus tried to follow her but Emilia grabbed him. "You can't send her away, she will die!" he screamed at Kyla "She knows what to do." Kyla said in a soft, almost enchanting voice "For us, it will not be so easy. Emilia go to where you keep your bow and give the other to Fergus, he knows how to use one." "I only have one bow." She replied but she always had a spare one. Fergus was reluctant to go for he had taken care of Harriea since she was born and to let her go into the unknown without him pained his heart. His hand fell into Emilia's and he clutched it tightly and together they sped off to the Tree, which had a door etched into it where Kyla and Emilia kept there bows for hunting. Kyla was alone once again. She whistled a haunting tune and a raven fluttered down from the sky. It dropped a container in her hand and flew away. It was a gift from her mother, bound in the leather; it held the best ingredients healer could ever need, Water. For Kyla was born from water she could heal even the worst injuries. She ran to the bridge and now the town was crumbling. Fire was everywhere and the Dragon loomed above them. She watched as people fled for their lives the chaos that ensued. Emilia and Fergus ran towards her "We must abandon this, we cannot win this battle." Emilia said. "No!" Kyla lashed out "We shall fight to the death for this is our home and before this it was the Dale and Smaug took that away from us but we shall not surrender this night, we play our part to save our town!" In that moment Emilia looked upon Kyla and saw not her friend who had stuck beside her side for all these years but someone much older and wiser, who knew of loss and death, someone who had kept her pain hidden for years for her eyes were like fire when she talked and her voice spoke with courage of a warrior. "We stand by you this night." Fergus answered. The three of them ran into the town and Fergus and Emilia climbed up to the rooftops while Kyla ran deeper into the heart of the battle. She saw Bard and the other men trying to hit the Dragon with arrows but she knew it would not work. "KYLA!" she heard in the distance. Harriea was running towards her but she caught the Dragons eye and it shot fire at her. Buildings crumbled around Harriea and she screamed but Kyla was frozen. The Dragon was not going take away any more of her friends. Kyla broke the trance and pulled Harriea from the rubble. "I can walk." She mumbled and Kyla heart skipped for joy for her friend was not dead. Harriea ran out to where Kyla had told her but Kyla climbed up to the building tops. She hopped across the roofs but on one she slipped and fell but someone caught her hand and pulled her up. As she scrambled up Fergus shot an arrow at the Dragon but it deflected "It is as his skin it steel" he said "No, he wears armour, you must search for a week point." Emilia shot an arrow but again it left no mark. "I have no arrows left." She said. The Dragons swoop above them and they ducked but its claw caught Emilia's bow. She was lifted high in the sky but Kyla and Fergus did not leave her, they followed the Dragon over the roofs. Emilia could no long grasp the bow and fell into a burning house. Fergus rushed in after her. Fire was sent down and the house exploded in front of her eyes and for a minute Kyla thought she had lost them both. Fergus emerged carry Emilia in his arms and he placed on the floor and time seemed to grind to a halt. "Emilia, Awake! We need you!" Fergus screamed but she did not stir. Kyla knelt by her and uncapped the container and poured the water into her hands. Strangely it did not leaked but it held still. She separated her hands and the water split into two orbs and Kyla placed them at either side of Emilia's head. Fergus stood back in awe as the water turned pure light and Kyla's eyes were white. Both of them seemed to glow. Emilia grabbed Kyla arm and they light faded and the water scatted "I shall not live this night. My body shall break and I will go to the halls were my family dwells." With that breath she was gone. The flower in her hand withered and turned black, Death. Fergus was stilling holding her hand and he kissed her head. Kyla was wishing that she could back to when they were innocent children but she knew that innocent doesn't linger in times like this. Kyla sat next to Fergus and for the first time their eyes met. Both their faces were stained with tears. He put his arms around Kyla and they cried for such a long time for he had lost the only girl he had loved and she had lost the person that was like her sister. Kyla took her bow and whispered through her tears "Till the end." For those were the words Emilia told her long ago.
Sometime later Bard found them told them of how he shot the Dragon and killed it. Fergus and Kyla did not move at the story and they did not move till the sun rose the next morning. They were taken to the refuge, exactly were Kyla had said, so they could have they wounds taken care of. But Kyla took no help from them but she used the water left in her container to heal herself. Since that day, Fergus and Kyla's souls never really recovered from those events will always be imprinted into their lives. The next day, Emilia was buried by the Tree in the forest and Kyla set a blessing over it so forever it grow the same flower that she died with, the flower was named Emily after her for it had no name. Kyla plucked one form the grave and placed in Fergus's palm but it did not change for he felt nothing inside. Fergus put his hand on Kyla's shoulder "How do we go on when we wish we could go back?" She opened his hand and the flower was orange, Hope. "We have go on and fight. For her." The flower fell from his hand and onto Emilia's grave. Kyla's hand became intertwined in his and they stood there and they knew that this would not be there last battle.
