The grueling battle that cost so many lives and sacrificed so many young warriors finally came to a conclusive end.
After a long and loud series of cheers, most of the people – especially the survivors – immediately dropped to the ground.
It was then followed by a group of people who began to move through the crowd, helping and healing those who had been injured by the battle earlier.
There were those who let out a cry of joy, as well as grief because of the loss of their relatives and friends. But all in all, most were simply glad that they managed to survive through such a disaster.
A group of youths, led by one named Jim, looked conspicuously amongst the survivors. They, apparently, came to look for someone, but could not find that person. Hence the boy named Jim approached the nearest person he recognized amongst the masses and asked.
"Mister, is it over..?"
