Breigon, Breigon; with great difficulty, I manage to pronounce this, which will be my pseudonym in this world, and I point to myself. At first, I think he is confused and tries to pronounce my pseudonym; maybe I made it too complicated, even I have trouble pronouncing it. I didn't think it through, this creature doesn't use vowels or consonants. Why did I come up with a name based on my language? What an idiot! But to my luck or surprise, he manages to pronounce it and points at me. I think he understood me, even with a reptilian face that says, "What kind of name is that!" Well, it's done for better or worse; this will be my name or, rather, pseudonym, so I proceed to point it out to him and wait for him to tell me his name. I hope he has one; I don't want to have to come up with another name.

To my great surprise, and what a surprise it was, his way of telling me his name was to puff out his chest and hit himself on the chest with his hand. It seemed to me like he was saying that his name was a source of pride for him, or at least that's what I understood, and he said GrrGrrrr and repeated GrrGrrr. But what the hell!

I only understood the same old grunts. I try to repeat the growl he made. What else can I do? He was able to pronounce my pseudonym; the least I should try is to pronounce his name, even if it just sounds like growls to me. I think it's important to him, so I try several times and he corrects me when I try; but how do I correct a grunt?

After practicing and listening, I think I understand that the difference is that the tone of the growl is what makes one different from the other. Damn! this will be complicated. In the end, I think I can pronounce it, although not perfectly, since I see the look on their face that says, "Come on! How can't you pronounce it!"

I feel bad, giving us names was my idea and, in the end, I'm still the one who is always behind and doesn't help, and in this case, I complicated everything; well, I guess for now, I'm Breigon and the GrrGrrr, I hope I said it right.

Once it was clear that we had names to warn each other of dangers, we resumed our march to the village. Of course, we peeked out cautiously; the last thing we expected was for an arrow or spear, or whatever, to hit us, but to my surprise, everything was calm and silent. It smelled of burning, it smelled of death, and that sent a shiver from the nape of my neck to the tip of my tail.

We descended cautiously one by one, so that one would always keep watch. Once down, I see the sadness in his eyes; I don't know how to feel, since I don't know who lived in this village, but if they were like him, what they did here was not fair. These creatures are not mere animals, which, even if they were, does not make it fair to exterminate an entire village.

There is also the possibility that I was reborn as one of them; if so, and I hope I'm wrong, it would mean that I died and won't be able to go home, which terrifies me, but it would also mean that this was my future and new family, and they were murdered. Possibly, my parents are in some of those houses in ashes, and I don't know what to think and feel about that.

I hear the same sounds that GrrGrrr made when we were together; I know they mean sadness, however, unlike the last time I accompanied him thinking about my humanity and my life being taken away, something deep within me made me feel... sadness? Anger? Not for my losses, not for the injustice that occurred here, which I know happened and am aware of, but because I feel they hurt something valuable to me, even though I don't know what it is; it's as if it were something mine and not mine at the same time, it feels strange, just like being in this body; however, setting that aside, I focus on accompanying the sadness of my only friend and even possible littermate brother, as it is a possibility that it could be so, for which I wouldn't mind being part of, although a part of me makes me feel that thinking this way feels strange, because I am human, right? What is happening to me?
