I spoke up immediately, urgency in my voice. “The earthquake hit at 9 AM yesterday. It was right during class. Timothy should be at the school. We need to get there now!”

Yura’s eyes snapped wide open at my words. She grabbed Nina’s arm, her voice shaking with fear. “Nina, where’s the school? Tell me, now!”

Nina turned and pointed west, the direction of the village’s edge.

Yura and I exchanged a look, then called a few werewolf bodyguards over. We set off for the school.

The path wound steep and narrow through the mountains. We had to move in single file, and with Nina in my arms, I walked carefully, taking each step slowly.

We trudged on for nearly an hour. The weight of the situation pressed on me, but there was no time to stop. Finally, we reached the gates of the school.

“We’re here!” Yura’s voice trembled with relief, her eyes wide with hope.

As we stepped onto the grounds, the destruction was undeniable. The classrooms had collapsed. The rescue team worked swiftly, searching through the debris.

Thankfully, the werewolf teachers had managed to evacuate the students quickly, so most only had minor injuries. The death toll here was far lower than back at the village.

“Here,” I called to the group. “Take some bread and water. Eat, but don’t rush. We’ve got enough for everyone.”

I hadn’t expected the earthquake to be so devastating. The rescue team had brought an entire truck of food, medical supplies, and equipment.
