The massive mining pits have become a lake, surrounded by enormous trees. Wild grass adorned the land as butterflies swarmed to the flowers scattered everywhere. Even the wild animals that were forced to desert their habitat had now returned to their homes. At a closer look, the lakes were now teeming with fish and other aquatic plants and creatures.
The soldiers in the courtyard were all mystified at the sudden events, but their attentions were diverted by the beautiful, warm rays of the sun.
"I never knew the sun could be so beautiful; all our lives we only knew about the scorching heat that burned our skin and has tortured us for so many years." Garalog whispered with a warm smile curved in his lips as he met the rays of sun with eyes closed.
The soldiers looked up and cheered when the moon slowly disappeared above them and the sun started to climb up on the eastern horizon.
