The humans under Silas saw the whole incident: the golden shield that appeared, followed by the blinding white light. It took a while before their sight was restored, and they could see the new look of their territory.
Silas's whole castle was gone. In the place where his castle once stood, there was a huge deep burning pit of golden flames that didn't seem like they were going to burn out anytime soon.
In the eyes of the watching humans, a golden bird-like fire flew out from the impact site before shooting off into the sky. Many humans wanted to rush into the impact site to take a closer look, but the closer they got, the more unbelievably hot it became. Their clothes even began catching on fire.
All of a sudden, the humans around took on the same expression, like puppets, they turned around as they all walked back to their homes, forgetting about the burning pit.
