Sifting Through the Wreckage
After some coaxing, we eventually manage to convince the child to settle down for the night and sleep.
While I tend to the child, Lucas searches for survivors among the rubble of homes.
It takes several hours of digging before we discover any remaining inhabitants within the crumbling husks of what had once been simple homes for those living in Celend.
When Lucas does uncover a body however, he immediately alerts the villagers working nearby so that they can come assist us in extracting whoever else remains trapped underneath the wreckage.
Soon after Lucas shouts out to me, I hurry over to join him, reaching for the beam pinning down the young woman trapped beneath it. Together, Lucas and I lift and toss the heavy wood aside easily.
He turns back to the fallen woman and kneels beside her, checking her pulse and examining her injuries. "She's breathing, but she's weak. She's been trapped here so long, I don't know how much longer she has."
