The start and the end

There was a great deal of heavy lifting to do. It was amazing how many trees the floods had torn through, in fact, one of the last heavy things standing was the Obelisk itself. He pulled free a tree that had lodged itself against the stone, before moving past it. The fireplace, which held a great deal of symbolism for the pack, was in ruins. The carefully placed stones were gone, and the fire - which had been burning since practically when the Armada had been created - was out. A torch from the original fire had been carried with them from the Plains.

It seemed almost fitting, that the devastation of the Armada started at its heart. He moved to the firepit, and kicked free some of the debris. Clearing out the centre of the pit, he realised there was a puddle of dirty water in the hole. That would have to be emptied before he could hope to fix the firepit. He sighed. Any buckets they had were destroyed or lost.
