Summary: After the Collector showed up, lots of people were able to run away to the original- factory-turned-basement under Blight manor to use it as a bunker. As people are accounted for, there are a few who worry specifically about their family who were at the epicenter.

Eda rubbed her forehead and tried to look around, her eyes needed to readjust. Suddenly, her senses snapped back to her as she saw the Titan's head start to break apart into pieces.

She looked down at her lap to see Raine still unconscious, with scars marking where the Draining Spell had reached across their body.

"Raine, Raine wake up. Come on Raine, we have to go!" Eda urged, trying to lightly shake them awake as tears began to form.

They didn't budge so Eda tried to pick them up, but found it hard with only having one arm.

"Raine, please, we have to get out of here."

As she tried to pull them along, Raine's unconscious body suddenly got much lighter. Eda looked over and saw Darius helping hold up Raine, though they themselves looked to be barely hanging on to life.

As Eda and Darius carried Raine, they also tried to wake up as many people as they could. A few managed to get up and follow Eda, and they carried those who couldn't.

It didn't take long for a small crowd to begin trailing Eda as she led them away and into the woods. When they got far enough away, they all took a break and sat down, hidden under the cover of trees.

"We can't stay here for long." Lilith weakly said, sitting down next to Eda.

"Well where can we go? There are too many of us!"

"I know a place."

Eda and Lilith, as well as a few others who were awake, looked over to see Alador supporting himself up on a tree. He looked to be in rough shape, even more than usual. They weren't sure if they could trust him, but any safe place was better than nothing.

Everyone followed as Alador led them to Blight Manor, in the basement of which was a massive factory.

"While Blight Industries was still small, I made this factory from the unused basement of the house. After we had enough money to build a new one, it's just been sitting here. But, it will work as a shelter for all of us and whoever else comes along. It has plenty of rations thanks to me, in my mild paranoia, readying this place to be used as a bunker in case things went wrong on the Day of Unity. Seeing as they did, I think this will work great."

It wasn't perfect but it was warm, had food, and plenty of room for everyone. Those who were able to set up a medical station for anyone who got hurt and to keep an eye on those who still weren't waking up.

Though even those who were awake struggled using their magic to the same degree they could before.

Days passed and more and more people were found as well as more information being learned. A list of every single person who was there was kept and being updated regularly so everyone who came knew who in their family was and wasn't accounted for.
