[Vanessa's POV]
Vanessa rushed through the rain, her boots splashing across the soaked ground as she followed the direction Ruvian had given her.
The closer she got, the quieter everything became, only the sound of the rain could be heard.
Then she finally arrived at where Calyra and Rosalin were supposed to be.
Her pace slowed on its own. Her eyes widened, while her lips fell openas the scene before her finally came into view.
'What the hell happened here?'
The marshland was almost impossible to recognize anymore.
Shallow streams had been split apart by long scars carved through the earth, while muddy ground had been overturned into deep trenches that stretched across the land.
Small flames still burned across patches of soaked grass, refusing to die despite the rain. Hundreds of broken ice spears littered the marshland, some shattered, others still embedded in the ground.
