In the aftermath of the battle, the once serene clearing bore the visible marks of the intense clash between Blue and the drake. Scorch marks marred the earth, tracing the paths of Blue's searing attacks and the explosion of the final solar fireball. The ground where the drake had fallen was still smouldering, emitting faint trails of smoke that mingled with the remnants of the battle.
The surrounding trees, once a protective canopy, now bore the signs of the fierce confrontation. Some branches had been broken or scorched, their leaves wilted and singed. Yet, despite the damage, the forest showed its resilience, with new buds beginning to emerge from the surviving foliage, a testament to nature's ability to heal.
