A scout who had been sent ahead to look at the damages arrived in Count Chimel's territory. He saw the manor overlooking the small town. What should have been a symbol of power and status now was destroyed. Windows were smashed and the garden hedges were black and leafless. The wall chard in an attempt to set it alight.
The scout turned away and looked at the destroyed town. The air had long lost the smell of blood but now was replaced by the smell of chard wood. Walking through he saw burnt bodies litter the streets. Some were burnt to the bone whilst others had some of their flesh, crusted and shrunk, desperately clinging to what remained of their bodies. The town center was in ruins. No building was fully standing, all of them nearly destroyed.
He walked past them ignoring those. Nothing could be found from that, only the chard remains. Walking to the outer areas he saw a house that still stood, suffering small damage, but he wished it was otherwise.
