Elena's P.O.V
After hours of witnessing the gruesome aftermath of that bloody invasion, I found myself standing in the now eerily sanitized corridors of the castle. The once blood-streaked walls and the stench of death had been meticulously erased, leaving no traces of the earlier chaos.
It felt like everything had been a nightmare and it was only now that I was stepping into reality. However, I knew in my mind that everything that had happened was very much real and it had shaken me to the very core, making me question the very fabric of my being and this world that we lived in.
