The whole capital of Devonshire was in chaos. The houses and different establishments burned to the ground. Many people prayed, asking for help, but it had been an hour since they all started praying.
Why pray? it is really foolish.
Nothing happened. Not even a miracle or even a chance of rain in order to stop the fire.
The body of those who died was just left on the road. Their faces and body were getting smushed as people walked over them like a pile of trash on the ground.
This is what humans were like in times of calamity and chaos.
Among the chaos, there were disgusting people who took advantage of the situation; they even inflicted damage. They went around killing and robbing people of their money and things.
