[ Kingdom of Dadirri ]
As Elder Saint FuXi, Elder Saintess NvWa and Princess Azure stepped out of the portal, their expressions turned from anticipation to sheer horror.
Before them stretched a once vibrant and lush forest kingdom, now reduced to a haunting wasteland of destruction.
The air was heavy with a suffocating silence, broken only by the faint crackling of charred remains and the sorrowful whispers of the wind.
The scent of burnt wood and smoldering ashes permeated the atmosphere, a grim reminder of the cataclysmic events that had unfolded.
The ground beneath their feet was littered with the lifeless bodies of mythical beasts, their majestic forms now reduced to mere husks of despair.
The once graceful faeries lay motionless, their delicate wings broken and their ethereal beauty extinguished.
