[Later That Day – Velyrian's Office]
'Oh, god.'
As Akamir walked towards the door of his office, he couldn't help but feel pained.
The one office that he used to visit was nothing like before.
Akamir pushed open the scorched wooden door, stepping into what remained of Velyrian's office.
The scent of burnt parchment and melted metal still lingered in the air.
The once disorderly room was now a shell of itself, with shelves charred to ash, papers reduced to dust.
The only thing untouched was the glowing staff that stood upright in the center of the room.
Its light was dim but steady, casting a soft red hue across the rubble.
Embedded in its center now was a faintly pulsing shard—part of a Ven Core.
'What the hell happened here!?'
Akamir couldn't help but wonder as he looked around the place.
He was gone for just one day and things took such a drastic turn.
Nayomi floated beside him, eyes all around the place.
