Mizuho, the water village renowned for its mastery of water-based alchemy, stood devastated. Once a beacon of ingenuity and peace, the village now lay in ruins, submerged beneath waist-high floodwaters.
Joseph, regaining his composure amidst the destruction, immediately sprang into action. Together with the remaining warriors, he began scouring the wreckage for survivors, the frigid water lapping against his legs as they searched tirelessly.
On the far side of the village, Masami Megumi, the esteemed village head, stirred awake amidst the chaos. Weak and battered, she surveyed the devastation, her heart breaking at the sight of her ruined home and the countless lives lost. Mustering every ounce of strength left within her, she stood and began channeling her magic and aura.
