A Child's Worry

Once they were a safe distance away, everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Death Wind Mountain or what remained of it. 

The earthquake itself lasted over a minute, leaving everything destroyed. The surrounding forests had been torn asunder. The fallen trees, the fragmented ground, the mountain itself reduced to smaller ones, in such a short time, everything seemingly changed. 

And the cause of this was that crack in the sky. 

"Is everyone alright?"

Ming Yue knelt down and looked at everyone, checking their bodies for any injuries.

Fortunately, none of them were in any dangerous harm. Hongyu had no more than a few cuts and scratches and the three beasts suffered similar wounds. She sighed in relief once she made sure. 

"Sorry, Hongyu, it looks like we might have to try another time but..."

She paused for a moment, looking at what was left of Death Wind Mountain.

"I'll have to look into this."
