The reinforced gates stood half-open, guards shouting orders as civilians rushed inside.
The faint hum of protective barriers flickered around the entrance, struggling against the pressure of miasma in the air.
"You guys go inside."
Elowyn said those words and immediately left without waiting for any reply.
As she moved, she searched for any people nearby. Her gaze swept across rooftops, alleyways, and broken streets, sharp and restless.

Elowyn felt a flicker of unease as she recalled her words before she left Cael,
"You stay here."
Now she regretted saying those words; she should have told him to go to the bunker instead.
'What if he just stayed there?'
Thinking this, she immediately used red lightning to enhance herself.
Crimson sparks flickered around her, wrapping her limbs like fleeting chains of light.
