Many voices chattered in a mostly subdued manner all around Evalynn. Her eyes wandered around the motley group of Artisans and Merchants, each taking stock of the new goods to be had, and bartering for the best pieces. Her pierced ear flicked back to the trader she was currently engaged with, and she looked back at him, apologizing quietly. As the trader began speaking to her again, she felt a velvet muzzle pressing into her shoulder, and she looked back, seeing Asim offering her comfort. A hard lump rose in her throat and she whispered a soft grateful 'thank you' to him. She bent her head back and pressed her own muzzle against his cheek before turning back to the Trader, accepting the deal he offered.

As she waited for the Trader to gather the goods from his cart, Evalynn winced as her child gave a surprisingly hard kick to her stomach. No doubt she was due soon, she'd have to go see Edith and speak to her in a few days, but that was something to worry about tomorrow, after all, she was barely holding herself together as it was now. The pregnant mare just kept replaying the last couple visits she'd had with Amadeus, and trying to reconcile the fact that she'd never see the innocent boy again. A soft sigh slid out of her and she wanted nothing more than to just go back home after this and crack open her strongest alcohol. Her thoughts raced to Lilith, and her heart dropped. Lilith must be devastated. Amadeus was her nephew, and honestly, had been like her own child. A new wave of grief threatened to overtake the mare, as her chest constricted as her heart broke for her lover and friend.

It seemed however, that her grief and heartache were to be shoved to the wayside that day, for between the few seconds of her falling into her own thoughts, an earsplitting roar shattered the quiet, and causing Evalynn to rear up in fright, a shrill whinny lost under the sheer volume of the roar. Twisting around to face the city, horror overtook the mare as a larger than life body rose into the sky from the city center. The blacksmith's eyes widened as the blood red body of the dragon rose ever higher, spiraling like a corkscrew. It was the mother, she would remember that body, even from beyond the city limits. The dragon rose so high, it's body and massive wings overtook the sun, blotting out the light in it's fury.

Suddenly, the dragon swooped, it's body arcing as it dove back down, disappearing from Evalynn's sight for only a moment before the raging dragon crested the wall of the city, heading straight for the farmlands. Jets of flame spilled out of the dragon's maw, igniting the world around her, crops and several houses suddenly engulfed in flame. Evalynn's watched the destruction, frozen for half a second, with only one thought: 'I was right, we never should've taken her eggs.'

Shrills screams warbled on the wind between the dragon's roar and Evalynn realized the giant blazes that used to be farm houses still had their residents in them. 'They need help!' The dragon swooped and arced through the air, setting the farmlands ever more into a fiery wasteland, makeing her way closer to where the caravan was. Many of the Traders were packing up their wares and trying to flee, and charos seemed to take hold. Closer still, one of the houses no more than a quarter of an acre away suddenly burst into flame as the dragon turned her blasts on it, and a new waves of shrill panicked screams split the air.

Turning to the group of Aodhian's standing frozen in as much shock as she had initially been, she squared her shoulders and yelled out "There are horses inside those houses! We need to get them out!" Ignoring her freshly purchased wares, Evalynn looked at her fellow herdmates to join her.

Shit, I didn't think I would actually finish this.
