Kapitel 36: 36 Fragmented Heights

Zoe watched as debris from ValueMart floated along, a surreal, fragmented procession. 

Empty cars drifted beside countless shopping carts, pieces of asphalt, and flickering lights, all mingling with shimmering water orbs that defied gravity. 

The remnants of shattered bridges, made of ethereal light, flickered into view then out again, as though Nytheria itself was trying to establish a foothold in their world, grasping at the reality of Warren and refusing to let go.
