"Wow..." The students stood, expressions of awe spreading across their faces as they gazed at the highest peak, the death of thousands of dragons.
"Welcome to Inferno-Pyremourn Summit," Arkanis announced with pride, his voice carrying as he studied each of them, taking in their expressions.
But then,
"Look at that!" one of the students exclaimed, eyes wide with disbelief, "What..... happened there?"
They pointed at a massive crater as if something monumental had crashed from the sky, tearing apart the earth and leaving devastation in its wake.
"Is this what caused the Empire to tilt?" Aqualina asked, her face full of curiosity. "What exactly happened here?"
Arkanis cleared his throat and spoke up, "I know you're all curious, but we don't have time to linger." He gestured for them to follow as he led them to a set of spiralling stairs descending sharply downward. They reached the ground in silence, still visibly stunned by their surroundings.
