a whimper to his left and turned to see a head of a young human poked out from behind a boulder. He walked over and found a frightened, small young human crammed into the small crevice between a boulder and the rocky valley wall.
    "Tell whoever sent you more is owed," Terra said to the human with a look of anger as well as pain. Terra turned and left the human shivering in fear. The youth stayed in his crevice until sunset, when he heard a movement. He tried to push himself further into the small space, making a scraping noise. Soon a woman on a runner appeared around the edge of the boulder, looking about until she spotted the terrified shivering youth.
    The woman dismounted and walked to the young one and stared down at the disgusting sight. She could smell the fear from the youth. He looked through his fingers, which were covering his eyes and saw a woman in man’s clothes, with a long knife slid through her belt and a bow slung across one shoulder. She was fearsome looking to the youth and he tried to curl into a smaller ball of shivering flesh.
    The woman looked at the destruction about her. She saw the rocks and the floor of the valley shattered and covered with a reddish gray dust. It was as if an earthquake had happened, but with far more destruction. She wanted to know what the youth had seen, so she reached down, grabbed his clothes, and pulled him out, forcing him to stand. He whimpered like a small child missing his mother.
    “What happen here?” she asked, as his legs gave out and he collapsed to the ground. She bent over and again grabbed him by the shoulder and repeated her question with anger in her voice.
    “A man, a huge man stood before us as we reached this spot,” the youth said in a trembling voice.
    “Continue,” she said as she shook him.
    “He was in a rage. The men attacked him with arrows and spears. He said the word 'No' and the arrows turned to dust. Then he said 'Stop' and men were blown off their feet. Finally, he said a strange word, and the men and their weapons exploded into a red mist. The rocks shattered and the ground cracked and moved, you could feel the power everywhere. I was hiding behind the boulder and was saved.”
    “He said three words and nothing else?” she asked with a serious expression.
    “He said something else. He saw me and told me that more was owed.”
    “What did he mean?”
    “The-the village. The men destroyed it and killed all the people,” the youth blurted out in absolute terror.
    “Where is the village?” She asked, trying to control her anger without much success.
    “Back down the road,” he said as he pointed the way.
    The woman grabbed him and tied him onto her pack runner and she mounted her runner and road down the path toward the village.

    Terra returned to the village and looked over the destruction. He hoped not all humans were this vicious. He would find out soon. Terra sent everyone to the crevice. He changed to his dragon form and used his talons to create a long trench. He then found all the bodies and gently placed each one into the trench. He covered the bodies with the soil from the trench and flew into the air. He flew around and back toward the trench while breathing in deeply. Terra then sent a searing hot stream of fire at the ground above the trench. The soil melted and turned into a hard rock as it cooled, making a permanent tomb for the villagers. Terra then flew back to the crevice.
    He walked into the cave, his home. There he found his mate Fienna, his daughter, mother, sister and the young one who survived the massacre. He was sleeping in his sister's arms.
    “Fienna, can we talk in the back cave?”
    “Yes my love.” They walked into the small rear cave where they slept. Fienna could feel a deep sadness within Terra. It was for both the villagers and the humans he had killed.
    “I must leave at
