Ryu's steps slowed to a stop as he reached the middle of the village. A wave of emotions hit him and took all his willpower to keep it in. But rage swelled in his chest and his hands tightened into fists. And there was a small part of him that he was ashamed of, the part that was relieved that it was not his fault for bringing death here. Ryu's eyes gazed over the motionless corpses, still partly shocked that a dragon would do this. Sure they were destructive, but what would it gain by doing something like this? Luckily Ryu knew exactly who to go after, all he needed was confirmation. Ryu spotted the boy who greeted him, he quickly strode over to him. "A dragon did this?" He asked in a low voice.

The boy nods vigorously, fire in his eyes. "It happened a day or so ago. The bastard destroyed the village, and killed my dad." He growls low, his ears perked up. "I'm getting the rest ready. We're going after him." From his tone and posture, you can tell the boy is serious about attacking the resistance. However, even if the village had been fully armed and war-ready it would have been slaughtered by Lurias's men.
