The ash-filled air is suffocating. Snowing ash covers the ground and the air is thick and black. The sky in every direction is red and black. No stars or moon can be seen through the thick haze.

The fires are uncontrollable and relentless, consuming everything in their path. On the horizon is a city, completely engulfed in flames.

Hope seems to have vanished. The world is burning. Nickolas is kneeling on the ground after watching the scene, his face buried in his hands in anguish.
