Everyone was working and doing their best to build firewalls when the news of the Keep burning was spread through the streets.
"Quick you soldier go and alert the Captain at the Skyrider Academy, tell him we need ever able Skyrider and Griffin carrying bags of dirt to spread from above. Go now soldier we don't have a moment to waste." The Sergeant knew that the dirt wasn't helping much but if they could get more dirt moving then it may be just a little more efficient. The Sergeant turned and to another group of soldiers and told them to meet up with the Sergeant at the Keep and do everything possible to save it. Next he sent two soldier done the next three streets and told them to make sure everybody was awake and out of their homes and to had for the town gate. "There have been tents set up for sleeping and a small medical tent for the ones who are hurt."
Meanwhile....
"I need to get into see the Captain, move out of my way guard the city is burning."
"What?"
"A fire has started we need the Skyriders and we need them now I have orders to speak to the Captain.
"Down the second hall to your right." The guard said as he stepped aside.
Running down the halls he finally came to the door, he knocked once and didn't wait for an answer before barging in. "The city is burning and it is spreading fast we need the Skyriders Sir."
In a state of shock at the unwelcome guest the Captain quickly snapped back to reality and nodded before heading off to sound the alarm for everyone to man their Griffins.
Back at the start of the fire the Sergeant was yelling orders left and right while helping build firewalls to stop the fire. The heat was so intense and it looked like there was no end in sight. Trying hard not so show home much worry he felt on his face he kept encouraging his men and volunteers not to give up and to keep working. "Keep it up men we can beat this." He called as he stuck a shovel into the ground.
"Sergeant, Sergeant, the fire is moving toward the Temple of Diana." A women screamed as she ran toward him. The Sergeant looked up in surprise, "if that is so, the the fire is spreading in all direction he thought to himself."
