Yoozepode was awakened by Valux early in the morning.

The great dragon spoke, "We should leave as soon as possible. Gather your things, and we will search the camp for food or weapons."

Yoozepode got up and asked the dragon a question, "Could you teach me to cast fire from my being?"

"I don't know. I couldn't teach any normal human being, but you are different. You are special. We will try later."

Yoozepode then walked over to Rufus's dead body and unhooked a cape from his neck. He then tried it on and it fit perfectly. Yoozepode also gathered up some arrows form the gang's archers, filling his quiver.

Valux found a good supply of food. Fruits, breads, and vegetables. He also found a curved knife and gave it to Yoozepode.

"We may try now. Okay, are you ready?" spoke Valux.

"Yes, I am ready." replied Yoozepode.

"Okay. First you must find an energy from deep within yourself. It should be located in your heart, tell me, what form of energy have you been introduced to?"

"I have a scar on my chest, and I don't know where it came from, but every time I see it, I feel awkward."

"Yes, that might be it. Now focus. How might have you recieved the scar?"

Yoozepode closed his eyes and focused. He remembered his dad had said he had the scar since he was a babe. Then it all came back to Yoozepode; the screaming, the tears, and the losses. An arrow protruded from his stomache. The arrow disappeared in blinding light. Then Yoozepode opened his eyes.

"I remember..." he said, a tear rolling down his cheek.
