It was only then that Theon remembered Jouzan and he ran off toward the flaming town. As he ran he heard screams coming from the inside of a hut and without thinking, Theon ran for it. He smashed through the door, smoke coming out like a wasp swarm. Two women screamed from inside the hut, one crying over the form of a man, still on the ground.
"Come on!" Theon said, throwing the cloak over his face to protect it from the smoke. There was nothing to be done for the man, who lay buried underneath a heavy piece of timber and one woman pulled the other along. The second protested, screaming something in a strange tongue. Theon grabbed her and yanked her out from beneath the collapsing roof and they both fell forward into the snow.
Theon stood, helping her up. "Find others!" he said. "Save them if you can."
And just when he thought it was too late, he heard the squawk of Jouzan swooping on overhead.
