The ground was left a black glass-like shell, stones and metal and mud melded together. There were no trees, no grass patches, all of it vanished, melting together with the other materials.

The explosion site has turned into an oval black crater.

Garen made his way carefully along this area, while at the same time checking for places that might hide bodies.

There was only a slight spillage of moonlight that night. Garen could barely see the silhouette of the objects in the woods.

The air was cool, but the site was still a little warm from the explosion. The ground was hot to the touch, he could feel it through his boots.

Garen checked the place thoroughly around the oval crater. Nothing. He widened his search area.

It was getting late by the second. He checked everywhere, in the bushes, behind trees, between boulder cracks, under the branches etc. He has searched everywhere that could hide people, but there was not a single sign of anyone hiding.
