Father's Feelings

Erend and Eccar arrived back at the Elf Palace, stepping through the swirling light of the portal and into the courtyard where the aftermath of the battle was still being felt.

The scent of scorched air and blood lingered faintly in the breeze. Around them, Elves moved with urgency and quiet determination tending to the wounded and mending the daMage as best as they can.

Healers knelt in the open yards, their hands glowing with pale Magic as they soothed pain and sealed wounds. Others had climbed atop the once-pristine white walls, ministering to those who could not be moved.

The daMage to the walls was minor in scale, but not in meaning. The wall that once thought to be unbreakable as their ancient barriers had been cracked and broken through in places. Centuries of pride now marred with jagged wounds, and the sight weighed heavily on the Elves' hearts.
