The State of Affairs

On the Sacred Gold Mountain.

Serene green gold trees arose from slightly gold earth as the leadership and what remained of Carthage were gathered in a single area.

A few tens of thousands of people!

In the last few hours, they had waded across the periphery of the Sacred Gold Mountain- the initial hour only making them all feel a sense of desolation as they found nothing.

It was only later that in a landslide of what used to be Carthage, the cold had receded in this area as when they were searching, they felt the earth underneath shake!

When they focused on that area, they were able to unearth an enclosed area filled with layers of artificial earth that crumbled down when they appeared, and within- 87 Humans shivering with coldness looked up.

At their center, a Three-Link Gem Master with a haggard appearance and a Sand Manipulation Ability Gem remained as he had barely managed to save others as he seemed drained.
