7th Moon

Days passed as the four espers traveled through the Kanagawa prefecture. It was an empty wilderness now, nobody had lived in this region since the raid three years earlier, and that settlement had been the only one after fifteen years of abandonment. There was nothing left of that settlement now, it had been mostly burned down and the ashes had already been overgrown by weeds. All the same, they stopped there for a while to pray for the lost souls, that they may find rest in the next life.
