We trudged back to the cave, the remnants of our recent battle weighing heavily on my mind and body. The once dense forest was now a mix of scorched earth and charred trees, a testament to the power I had unleashed.
Each step was a monumental effort; my legs felt like lead. The sight of the cave's entrance, however, brought a sense of relief, a sanctuary from the destruction behind us.
As we approached the cave, I could still hear the crackling of embers and smell the acrid scent of smoke clinging to the air. The battle had been fierce, leaving the landscape scarred and the air thick with the remnants of magic and fire.
The forest, once a haven of life and vibrancy, now stood as a stark reminder of the destruction that unchecked power could bring. Each burned tree and scorched patch of earth was a testament to my struggle, a grim reflection of the power that surged through me during the fight.
