A battle without the captain

Trying to understand what the man was screaming about, Annabelle looked around her after the purple mist dispersed.

".…."

Such destruction!

She saw it. All around her, buildings were smashed to nothing but gravel and dust. Even the alleyway she was previously in was now in an unrecognisable state.

Annabelle shook her head in resignation. Scattered bones, blood mixed with sand, flesh and organ spilt on the ground as though they were made from dust, but the crimson blood flowing from beneath the walls of the fallen building and several other destroyed homes told her all she needed to know.

Instantly, she unsummoned Mother Andiara and let her return to the veil. She floated down as the winds aided her support, and when her feet touched the ground, she sighed in defeat.

"CAN YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?" The man with a red aura around him, shooting deeper into the sky screamed with malice and pain in his voice.
