First page of BurnedCoffee's 'Hidden Fire'. We see a little village, multiple silhouettes seeing a stranger arrive. Narration: 'There is so much that we don't know about this world, and though we are curious, we are never quite ready for that knowledge.'We see the stranger is an old man with a long beard, a robe and a long wooden cane. A child arrives at a window where another child, Sar, peeks out: 'Sar Sar! The mage has arrived!', the first child says. Sar replies: 'Oh! Let me get my shoes on.'. We see the mage conversing with a concerned looking adult, as the kids chatter with each other: 'Do you think he'll be able to deal with the Chimer-Cat?' 'My mom hopes so, otherwise the whole town will have to move away from the valley.' 'But... he looks so old.' 'Come on, let's follow the mage!'
