Silvermist's eyes drifted down, settling on the loose rocks scattered across the cavern floor. What was once soft, lush moss — vibrant and alive beneath her feet — had been crushed and torn apart, reduced to ragged patches clinging to broken stone.
The entire cavern now resembled a fractured labyrinth, divided into uneven compartments by the fallen slabs of what had once been its mighty ceiling.
Towering boulders lay where there had once been open space, and jagged edges jutted out like broken teeth from the walls. The silence around her felt heavier now, pressing down with the weight of everything that had been lost in mere moments.
She shifted her gaze to the magical pond, or at least what was left of it. The once luminous water still shimmered faintly, but most of its body had been buried beneath rubble and debris.
