Aldria visits the ruins of her empire

The sky was tinged with a gloomy gray as Dante and Aldria walked through the destroyed gates of what was left of the Human Empire. 

Aldria was originally going to come here as soon as Dante returned, but when he asked her to come along, she couldn't deny her husband that... After all... she didn't even want to come alone to see the disaster that had happened here after she was killed. 

When they arrived at the site... 

The smell of ashes still hung in the air, mixed with the metallic odor of spilled blood. The sound of careful footsteps echoed through the empty streets, and the sight before them was devastating. 

The city, once vibrant and full of life, was in ruins. Collapsed buildings, squares reduced to rubble and corpses scattered on the ground told the story of the brutal war against Mary Rose and her undead army. There was a mournful silence in the air, broken only by the wind that blew between the shattered structures.
