Capítulo 469: Of Beginnings That Were Deadly

[RUKIYA]

When they had gone through the portal back to the sacred island, Rukiya and Mumbai expected to find themselves standing before a burning island. This wasn't part of the plan and the more they looked sound, the thicker the stench of smoke and burnt flesh hit their noses. 

It was the worst of stenches they had taken in for a while now and frankly it was upsetting to extreme levels. This was insanity at best and it wasn't to be lauded in any way. The forest was thick with smoke, let alone the unbreathable air. 

There were silent whimpers in the distance in the midst of the burning and Rukiya felt her heart sink into her stomach at the possibilities that were hitting her mind. She knew that Hawi and Malika were powerful, but then the Russels had equally been as powerful.
