Sighing, Kain ran after Edun and Bram '[i]I know we've all graduated and all, but we've only[/i] just [i]graduated. Even though we're all officially dragoons now, I still think we're in way over our heads. I should probably follow them, who know's what else could happen today[/i].' As Kain ran through the west wing, he could smell a strange burning stench. His first whiff of it nearly made him chock, it was just that bad. Taking a few seconds to gather himself and adjust to the smell, he continued searching the west wing for the two other dragoons

As he ran through the ruins, his mind started to wander. He recalled, very vividly, various memories he had made here. So many familiar places and things, marred by the dragon's wrath. Then there were the bodies. Some he could vaguely recall, others were complete strangers to him '[i]this is madness. Pure and utter madness[/i]' he began to seethe with rage. '[i]No! Remember what dad said. Keep yourself calm. Anger makes you stupid[/i]' he corrected himself, starting to calm down

Finally, he came across the other two boys. "There you two are! We shouldn't just be blindly running around now. We need to get-" he was stopped by the bodies he saw "...are......are those the elders? Did...did they [i]all[/i] die? How?" His voice began to warble "this...this is worse then I could have imagined. For the elders themselves to die. How could this have happened right under out noses?" Kain was now ever more worried then before. For the elders to be dead at the beginning of...whatever this was, was clearly a bad omen
