Edria

As she got closer to the signal origin, Jane couldn't believe what she was seeing "We were too late" were the words that came out of her mouth.

Destruction, total Destruction, buildings on fire, some looked like they were cut in half, while others had massive claw marks through them, Jane could see dead bodies lying everywhere, the earth itself looked to have been burnt, it was like a volcano erupted in the area around the woods.

The outer part of the Middle-class sector woods that housed millions of trees and thousands of wildlife was now barren, with trees on fire, and animals running out from the woods into the city.

Jane's frustration grew as she saw the destruction done to the city and the forest "How can this happen in my city, Who the hell did this" she roared in anger as she ran into the forest, following the lingering trace of Ira in the air.

**********

It has been a day since his last battle with the wield demon in hell, he could still feel slight pain around his body, making him realize that the pain he felt in hell would follow him back to the real world.

"At least I got something good from that encounter, I think" Tommy mused as he looked at his right arm, he could feel the strange fin-like spike in his arm, he tried to make the fin-like spike appear but to no avail, something was blocking the Dark smoke flow in his body.

He had tried to meditate like he did in hell but it was harder than before, for some reason he couldn't assess his full energy.

"Well, I finally get to go home today" he was finally getting discharged from the hospital today after a month since he woke up, but strangely none of his family were present, It was strange since Aloy practically came to visit him every day.

"She also didn't come yesterday, I hope she is alright" Tommy had nothing to pack so he went ahead to say bye to Sara and Akira, he collected Akira's contact info before finally leaving the hospital.

It was a breath of fresh air when Tommy left the hospital gate, the street was crowded by people going about their business, Tommy who had been asleep for 3 years decided to walk home, if he wasn't wrong his house should be about 45 minutes from the hospital.

Tommy took the marvelous sight of the City, The city of Red Hills was built along the banks of a mighty river and was truly a contemporary city. Its beauty was matched by the backdrop of grand forests which have helped shape the city into what it is today.

The climate these forests brought were of great importance, but they were also influential when it came to architectural designs as the vast majority of buildings have been built alongside the trees and often incorporate many different forest elements.

The skyline was growing with giant skyscrapers and more seemed to be on their way. Business was booming in Red Hills and it has attracted a lot of attention. Many new cultures have left their mark not just on the city's history, but also on the city's identity. What historically was a city of no variation has grown into a new culture of variety and it's this that unites the 1 million people to this day.

It was this multicultural identity that had truly left its mark. Hundreds of ethnic restaurants, cafés, and bakeries offer a plethora of culinary choices, and those who feel hungry for something else can enjoy water sports, sightseeing, arcades, or one of the many other recreational venues.

Although the city looked grand Tommy quickly realized that he was in the Upper-Class sector of the City which baffled him, How could his family afford to pay for the hospital bills in the Upper-class sector of the city?

Tommy remembered his parents being in the middle-class sector before his coma "Did father take a loan from some loan sharks" he wondered, Red hills city like other Cities in the country EDRIA was classified into sectors Lower-Class for the people who could barely make ends meet, it was referred to as the Slums.

Although people in the Lower-class sector were richer than some of the richest men in some other countries around the world like third world countries, while the middle was the in-between, most successful businessmen and women belonged to this class Middle-Class sector of each city were more advanced and maintained than the lower-class sectors.

The middle-class sector of each city was filled with mostly mega-cooperations and businesses, price of products and properties was 4x that of the lower class.

The Upper-class sector of the city belongs to wealthy families, families that had their histories engraved into the city or a family that had enough money to move there.

Red Hills City was also the crown jewel of the SunShine state, where Red Hills City was located.

The state itself was the capital of the Edria country, a country developed by the UN from ground to top before granting the country independence after 40 years.

The country itself housed multicultural individuals from different colors and races across planet Earth, The country was found to foster unity between the different races on the planet, to help end racism and other forms of discrimination.

Edria was an island country created by the UN in what was the greatest construction of Humanity, between the countries of Oman and India, Edria was amount as big as the country of Japan, Edria was located from the ARABIAN SEA to the INDIAN OCEAN.

The Edria archipelago is over 2,960 km (1839.259 mi) long in a north-to-southwardly direction from the Arabian Sea to the Philippine Sea in the Indian Ocean. It is narrow, and no point in Edria was more than 100 km (62.137 mi) from the sea.

Tommy continued walking but he soon realized that he was lost, this was his first time in the Upper-Class sector and from the look people were giving him, they knew he was new to the sector.

Tommy was standing before a cafe, wondering what to do he was hungry and tired he had been walking for more than 3 hours, going everywhere his legs could take him within the sector, he knew he would probably never get the chance to venture into the Upper-class sector of the city again so he took his time going for sightseeing.

Now he was tired and bored so he entered the cafe and ordered a cup of tea before asking for a phone, a phone was provided for him shortly after.

Tommy was never a person who enjoyed coffee no matter the amount of sugar or milk added to it, he was a tea guy, Sipping his tea, Tommy inputted his father's number into the phone before dialing.

The phone rang a couple of times before reaching voicemail, he tried again and again but same outcome, he tried Harry's number but same outcome, but he was beginning to get worried.

"Did they change their numbers or what" he questioned as he tried Harry's number again but it also went to voicemail.

He began tapping his fingers on the table anxiously before he remembered Aloy, "Even if they changed their numbers, Aloy would never change hers, that girl grows attached to anything" Tommy quickly dialed her number.
