Chapter 38: The Bathhouse Massacre – Luci’s Wrath Unleashed

Steam rose from the destroyed bathhouse, pillars cracked, and the ground was littered with debris. Water pooled in the crevices of shattered tiles, reflecting the dim light filtering through the broken ceiling. Chunks of marble lay scattered, some partially submerged, their once-polished surfaces dulled by dust and ash. The scent of damp stone and burnt wood hung heavy in the air.

A toppled brazier smoldered in the wreckage, faint embers glowing beneath a layer of rubble. The once-pristine bath, once filled with clear, warm water, was now a murky basin, choked with debris. Splintered beams jutted from collapsed walls, their edges blackened and charred.
