Chapter 237 237: The aftermath...

Ramsey

Loud ringing…. Loud, loud ringing lulled me out of my unconscious state.

I blinked severally, trying to fight the blur in my vision. My head throbbed painfully, my ears ringing so loudly it drowned out everything else. I tried to move but felt like I was trapped under something heavy.

Was I being buried? The sand was all over my body, and something else was pressing on me. I tried to reach La,x but he seemed unresponsive. Someone was calling my name from a great distance. I blinked rapidly, trying to understand where I was or where I went to.

I turned my head aga,in looking around, but my vision remained unfocused. I could barely make out the wreckage around me. Where was I? What had happened?

I managed to slip out of whatever was holding me bound to the ground and push my body into a sitting position. My vision was clearing a little, but not enough to have a bird' s-eye view of everything.

I scanned where I sat, taking in the Debris surrounding me and then slowly, the memories began to filter into my mind. Where I was, once stood a meeting hall from moments ago. I lifted my eyes, and all I could do was stare numbly; an entire line of the building lay in ruins.

The explosion didn't just affect the meeting roo, but the four offices next to it. Chunks of concrete, twisted metal and shattered glass lay everywhere. My mind was still struggling to process how quickly everything had changed – one moment, I'd been sitting in the meeting hall, the next…

A firm grip landed on my shoulder, sliding under my armpit to haul me up. The sudden movement sent a fresh wave of dizziness through me, but whoever was helping me didn't let me go. My legs felt like liquid, but somehow, I managed to stay standing as they half-dragged, half-carried me to what felt like a platform and set down.

I just sat there, watching shadowy figures dash past in a blur of motion, filled with urgency. Gradually, my vision began to clean,r and when it finally did, I just remained still for a few moments, staring blankly at the devastation. Smoke and dust filled the air, creating a choking haze.

Pack warriors swarmed around the ruins like ants, shouting orders, others digging through the wreckage of what had once been the meeting hall. Their movements were precise pand ractised – they'd trained for scenarios like this, little did I know that the first place they would use that training was here, in the heart of our territory.

Right in the heart of the White Moon Throne.

My mind struggled to catch up, to recall what had happened just before everything turned to chaos. Slowly, my vision sharpened, and I saw familiar faces on the other side of the destruction.
