At the Shrine: As the dust settles, the white pillars of the shrine begin to appear. The surrounding bushes, trees, and flower beds are covered in a layer of dust and dirt. Large patches of missing earth surround the base of the shrine, also several bushes are missing or torn badly. The shrine itself is collapsed. The four pillars that hold the main center ring up, are spread out in the area. All in large pieces. The center ring has fallen down without the pillars, and cracked in two on the shrines floor.

Off to the side of the devestated shrine, lays the dark young man. His cloths are shredded, and burnt. His tanned skin is now blackened, and bleeding. He sits up and shakes his head, trying to gather his wits a moment. His hair is also missing, leaving only tufts of smoking patches. Then he looks down to his missing left arm, burnt to a stub at the elbow. He cradles the arm and lets out an inhuman howl, sounding loud and strong. He then looks to Lita and Hiel laying not far away. His face then contorts, and shifts to more of a feral look. His eyes turn to catlike slits, and he snarls at them both with a fanged mouth.

 

At the Tavern: Araon walks into the room, and examines the object in the mans hand. It seems to be a pair of spectacles, delicatly held, so easily removed. They almost slip into Araons hand as he removes them from the statue. He holds them up to examine, and they seem to be very well made with crystal lenses, tinted slightly, and golden wire frames.

Suddenly the door slams shut behind him, and the locking mechinism clicks.
