#Chapter 137 Collapse

The air was so hot I felt it scorching my skin. The wind blew me across the ground until I got a hold of something and took refuge behind a tree. I could smell the bark burning from the heat of the air. My ears were ringing. I couldn’t hear anything. I couldn’t see anything as the light filled the sky, casting long, dark shadows around me. When the explosion ended, I dropped to the ground, panting in fear as my heart beat almost painfully in my chest. I heard screaming, crying, and other sounds from near and from far away. I got to my feet, gritting my teeth, and stumbling back towards the building nearby and further into the city. The cliff was on the other side of the town. I had to get there. I didn’t know how much time I had left, but Candido needed me. I couldn’t just let him lie there alone. Who knew what could happen? Who knew what had happened? No matter what, I had to get there. People were screaming and running around and away from where most of the damage had been done.
