[On the Road to the South]

[Amelia and Fiery embark on their journey, riding on horseback with their faithful companion, Frostfire, a magical creature.]

[The wind carries their excitement and determination as they leave the city behind and venture into the unknown.]

Amelia (cheerful): "Isn't this thrilling, Fie? Riding on horseback, with Frostfire by our side. It feels like we're a real adventure party!"

Fiery (smiling): "Oh, Ame... but we are a real adventure party."

[They both laugh.]

[They travel through lush green fields and winding forest paths, immersing themselves in the beauty of nature.]

Amelia (curious): "Fie, have you ever fought a dragon before?"

Fiery (reflective): "Not really..." She pauses, her gaze fixed ahead.

[Amelia senses Fiery's unease and decides not to press the question further, allowing the journey to continue in a comfortable silence.]

[As they venture deeper into the south, the signs of the dragon's rampage become more evident. Burnt trees and damaged structures serve as a grim reminder of the terror the town has endured.]

Fiery (cautious): "Amelia, let's stay vigilant. The dragon's presence could be near, and we must be prepared."

Amelia (determined): "Absolutely, Fie!" Her smile radiates with hope, reinforcing their shared commitment.

[They approach a burning town, greeted by a haunting silence devoid of life.]
