It was during one night while Drystan was asleep that smoke slowly infiltrated his nose and then coughs erupted from his throat, disturbing his sleep.
When he opened his eyes, he realized that the room was already filled with thick smoke while flames had begun spreading across his chamber.
Confusion struck him immediately as he pushed himself up from the bed, but his eyes started burning.
"Hel..." He could not even finish the word before another violent cough tore through him.
The fire spread rapidly, swallowing everything in its path and slowly approaching the bed where he stood.
"Help!" he shouted again, but his voice was drowned out.
The heat became unbearable and he struggled to breathe properly as smoke filled his lungs. "Somebody!" he called out once more before another fit of coughing bent him over. The smoke became too much for him and soon his vision blurred as weakness overtook his body before he finally collapsed onto the ground.
