Even the brightest fire dulls with time. After a short duration all the Flame Swallows met the fire. The resulting chaos left nothing but ash and smoke. No trace of any vegetation remained. Not even rocks or stones were left.
The air warped as steam rose from what was left. Only the light of the moon allowed Elian to see the extent of the damage. However, his eyes did see something he did not expect.
The earth and ash. They are all saturated with Mana!
At his realization Bianca placed her hand on his face.
"Indeed. Each time a Flame Swallow meets the fire they bless their surroundings. It practically terraforms the land they fight in. This is why father wanted to come here first. So long as we have them with us, material will never be a problem."
"Then, why didn't you tell me earlier? All this time I was worried where to get stuff for Father-in-law's body. Didn't you even say not to mind it and just prepare for the Ironwoods or whatever?"
