Me and Zane were walking on a small dirt path, we had just climbed up the hill that Zane fell down, and were walking on the path that it lead to, I could see some smoke trails up in the sky, but I don't hear anything

Archimedes: "so Zane, do you have any family members in the village?"

Zane: "Uh, y-yeah, i live here w-with my mom and my s-sister"

Were gonna work on that stutter sooner or later

Archimedes: "do you know if they made it out?"

Zane: "n-no, I don't"

Archimedes: "*sigh well, maybe they are fine, maybe they aren't, but we won't know until we check, okay?"

Zane grips my hand a little harder

Zane: "y-yeah, okay"

Archimedes: "okay then, let's go"

We finally can see the village, it's more akin to a town, but that's just me, anyways.

I can see some burned houses, one still on fire, as well as a bunch of corpses, some men, some women, some even children.

As we walk closer, the stench of death grows ever more prominent, making zane cover his nose, I just power through, quite literally using my power to clear out the smell

I start checking and gathering the bodies I find, and after I gather everyone that was dead in the main square, I go with zane towords what I assume is his house

Archimedes: "is that your house?"

I point towords a small, 1 story house near the outskirts of the main plaza, it seems more like a place of gathering than a town square, but whatever

Zane nods, and we walk in his house, through the destroyed door. It smells atrocious in here.

As we pass by the living room and it's attached kitchen, We approach a broken door, I peak into the room and see something I wished I hadn't, oh that poor woman, y'know I don't think inards are supposed to be out in the open.

I usher him along while slowly telling him

Archimedes: "Zane, I'm sorry to say, but there was a woman in that room, now I don't know for sure, but did your mother have brown hair and a red skirt on when you left?"

Zane: "yeah, t-that sounds like h-her, why?"

Archimedes: "*sigh* Zane, im sorry to say,, she's gone"

He starts crying, I hug him in an embrace, damnit why the hell would someone do this? Are they sick in the head?

I look up from comforting zane and see another broken door, probably his sister's, I usher him forward and move towords the door, bracing myself, I look in, yet I find no body, no blood, and nothing broken but the door and a small pot in the room, seems like a struggle happened
