AN UNEXPECTED AWAKENING
A light breeze blew through the streets of Aerdell. The day had been plagued with heat, but now all was silent and the town's inhabitants lay to rest. The dogs of Kaell had spent the day mostly lounging about, some patrolling, and still others had attempted a hunt or to. Nothing note worthy had happened. A storm had rolled in by the end of the day, sending them to bed early. The storm hadn't appeared to bad at first, so most of them had simply gotten into shelter before it hit the town.
The storm had grown increasingly worse as it rolled over the forest and into the town. As the sun began to set thunder echoed across the streets. A light drizzle had come and gone very fast, this storm was much worse then just an ordinary rain storm. Lightning danced across the sky, the dogs could see flashes of light in the clouds. Even though they all knew by now that the storm was bigger then they originally thought, they couldn't imagine the tragedy that was about to befall them.
By some twist of fate lightning struck a lamp post. The light bulb inside exploded, sending sparks everywhere. The stray embers landed on a wooden, barely managing to start a small fire. It started small, then it grew and raged into a flame. It worked its way over the door quickly, then followed into the building itself, ravaging anything inside that could burn. Another shop near by quickly sending it into flames. The first building collapses, sending derbies into the streets that block the road. Any dogs that may have been in that building are surely dead now.
By now the other dogs close by had heard the crash. Panic begins to fill the town as the fire continues to spread, some dogs may look for leadership in a time like this, others may want to protect themselves, and still others would rebel and do things their own way. This will be a true test of the high ranks confidence and poise. Other dogs may rise up as well, to help get the pack out of this disaster. Any loners that happened to be in the town are going to be sucked into this as well. Will the pack work together or will they fall apart?
