In a small cabin in the woods, a family of four shuddered as the cold winter air filled the room. The snow on the window sills trembled as the father walked around quickly and shut all the windows. Emily whined, but then her mother shushed her and her brother.
“But ma, it’s so cold! Why can’t we use the fire?” Emily started to whine again.
“Because we have limited gas and wood, and fire takes up gas and wood,” her mother said sternly.

A bright pink highlight came through the trees, and when the draycon landed on the spot, the two parents were in the cabin, crying about their lost children.

He dropped to his knees and welcomes them with a hug, while the mother joined in as she tried to stop weeping. Then, the dragon stepped in. The father grabbed his gun back on his shoulder, but Miles stepped in front of the
