(Surrounded by the ruins of Ixtal, Leo's POV)
An hour passed in an absent minded haze for Leo, as for a good sixty minutes he simply stood in the empty of space while shattered continents and rapidly cooling magma drifted slowly around him.
"I'll find something… even a fragment…"
Leo said, as he forced his senses to sweep across rotating slabs of crust while refusing to accept that he could no longer find traces of his family, no matter how hard he tried.
"If I could not save them, then I should at least bury them…."
He muttered, as each fragment he examined revealed only stone and frozen magma as no trace of Amanda's mana signature remained, while the void answered him with an indifference that felt crueler than violence.
'Keep looking. You just missed it,' Leo thought, as he expanded his range further despite already knowing that he had combed the same sector three times over.
