Elysia was accompanied by Elena, Lifa, and a faithful nun by her side. They stood at the highest point of the Sky Library, looking at the surrounding lands from above.
Once a vibrant of diverse landscapes and thriving civilizations, the continents below bore the scars of decisive warfare.
Where once lush forests and verdant plains had stretched as far as the eye could see, lay barren wastelands scarred by the ravages of war. Charred remnants of trees stood like twisted sentinels amidst fields of ash and rubble. Their once vibrant foliage was reduced to blackened husks by the fires of battle.
Once bustling cities were razed to the ground. Their once-grand buildings were reduced to rubble and debris.
Along the coastlines, the once-busy ports and seaside towns lay in ruins. Their harbors choked with the wreckage of sunken ships and shattered docks.
Each difficult moment has the potential to open one's eyes and heart.
