Shock and awe.
The jaws of those watching collectively dropped as they looked in the direction of the warehouses to see a massive plume of smoke floating into the air.
For a few seconds, it was as if time had stopped.
To the Eldinorians watching, it felt as if all was lost.
Why…was this happening? Hadn't they listened? Even if the locket was the trigger, why did Eldra press it?
As these and many more questions spiraled in the minds of the people, a few elves who were at the edge of the clearing turned around to see a group of Elf children walking towards them while excitedly observing the surroundings as if they were seeing them for the first time.
The sight of so many happy, smiling faces initially startled the elves. After a few moments, even their faces lit up into smiles of joy as they realized just what was going on.
"The children are back!"
"There was no one in the warehouse! Everyone is safe!"
