Kaizen was visibly shocked and saddened to find the whole place in ruins.
Not sure how to react, he walked through the rubble, looking at the books, magical objects and scrolls scattered on the ground. He stepped carefully over the broken books and objects, trying to find anything that might be salvageable. But it was all useless - only ruins remained.
Anger began to rise in him as he thought of the possibilities of what could have happened in this place, but he controlled that emotion for now.
"Alina! Are you here?!" He shouted as he walked towards the center of the section.

The sound of the crackling fire consuming some books and the creaking of some bookshelves about to fall over were the only things he could hear.
When he finally reached the center of the room, he found the epicenter of the funereal smell of blood. There was a large pool of blood on the floor and an entire arm.
