As the Ashbourne family, Lithira, and Rosetta arrived in the village, it was a scene of chaos and destruction.
Villagers were running away screaming and crying, houses were torn to the ground, and fires raged everywhere, reducing homes to ashes.
The sight of the burning village brought back the harrowing memory of Lucien being consumed by blue flames, filling them with a renewed fury.
They scanned the area for the enemy, and soon enough, they spotted Emon and his underlings approaching with mocking and arrogant expressions.
Emon, in particular, wore a wide, satisfied grin, relishing in the devastation he had wrought. Bringing ruin to the village and its people, who had once humiliated him, was a twisted dream come true for him.
But he was wrong to expect despair from the Ashbournes. Instead, they stared at him with cold, unyielding hatred, their eyes promising vengeance.
