(Azriel POV)
Azriel looked at the Shamam in horror.
"I cannot believe all this happened! We could have saved so many people from The Ruin and The Blight had we allowed our borders to stay open."
The Shamam looked at her sadly and nodded, "It is a shame Azriel Which is why I wanted you to witness everything that has transpired since then. I want you to understand that everything that is happening now was set in motion years ago."
She nodded, tears streaming down her face as she said, "I always thought the people in The Blight were monsters, but these poor farmers were trying to escape."
"Yes," said the Shamam. "They were."
A slow and stunning realization began to dawn on Azriel. She began to think back on the many things she had seen since she had stepped into The Blight. Something was not adding up and she was keen to understand that better from The Shamam.
