Ceti trudged through the ruined streets of the Bloodburn Kingdom, her dark blue eyes scanning the desolation that stretched endlessly before her while still trying to process Silvan's betrayal.

The cries of battle echoed in her ears, mingling with the anguished screams of citizens who had been caught in the chaos. Smoke billowed up into the crimson sky, the air thick with ash and the stench of blood. Her heart clenched at the state of her kingdom, each step feeling heavier than the last.

As she moved closer to the central parts of the kingdom, her dismay deepened. Draconian soldiers were pressing hard against the kingdom's defenses, their blood-red eyes gleaming with sadistic glee as they overpowered the Bloodburn soldiers. 

The once-proud defenders of the kingdom were being cut down one by one, their cries of defiance turning into guttural screams as they fell under the relentless assault.
