Bab 48: Creature of Fire

Suddenly, I found myself in the chaotic heart of Bloodmoon. The entire place was ablaze, and the air was filled with the terrified cries of women and children.

Amid the chaos, a massive tree materialized out of thin air right in front of me, engulfed in flames. I couldn't help but scream in shock. However, I quickly gathered my wits and attempted to calm the panicking crowd.

I wondered what was going on. Were we under attack?

Desperation drove me to sprint towards a woman who was crouching with her young daughter. She appeared inconsolable, sobbing and trembling.

"Hello?" I waved my hand, trying to get her attention. To my astonishment, my hand passed right through her face, as if she couldn't see or feel me. I peered into her eyes and saw a dark, massive creature with enormous sail-like wings reflected in her terrified gaze.
