Two days after ending the war, we eventually had an SUV pull up to the house we were staying in.
Elias chose to carry me out of the house, rushing back in to grab anything he left behind, specifically a notebook that he's been using to calculate the damages, including the number of lives that have been lost.
The ride to the Capital was silent as we were observing the damage, other than a couple of places that had been destroyed with the buildings burnt, while the rest had some damage, but it was mild. However, the Captial was the place where bodies littered the land.
By the time we arrived at the castle, we passed through the destroyed market, where many people working to clean up the mess and tend to the wounded, we stepped out of our vehicle, and within minutes Darren found himself in my arms.
