The war was over.

Sweeter words had never been spoken. I pulled my wings in closer to my body and wrapped my arms loosely around my stomach, looking out over the city for the first time. The sight of the fallen buildings, the destroyed roads, the sheer destruction made me shudder. I felt sick. I hadn't had time to pay attention before, but now it was hitting me that Cosma had done a lot of damage. I didn't even want to think about how many people had been hurt and killed during the fight. It would take time, possibly years, before things were back to normal. But as long as I had my friends with me... I knew that I could go through anything.
