A scene

Elassippeans will not say the name of Helioselen. Ffion, a druid from the western hills, went into the ruins anyway and sat on the cracked flagstones of what had been a market square, palms pressed to the ground. She had three questions and she chose them carefully. What broke this city? The answer rose through her hands minutes later, slow and grinding: the earth itself, shrugging. Did anyone survive? A long wait. A few, fleeing west. Where does the king lie? The last answer took so long she thought it would never come.
