As Erik stood there he watches the wasteland before him. He bit his lip and looked around until his eyes got drawn back to the white tree with itâ€™s strange glow. Erik felt drawn to it as if it wanted him to get closer. But the soldier didnâ€™t. He stood where he was and stared at it. How could something this beautiful cause so much destruction, he wondered. His mind wandered off as he stared at the tree that had dominated the square.<br/>Erik finally got his eyes away from the tree and dragged himself back to reality. He shook his head and blinked a few times. Then he looked at signs and papers that were spread over the ground. Searching for a name to tell him what the name of the street was. Harden Boulevard, he reads on a sign that was attached to one of the pillars behind him. The soldier crosses his arms and sighs, not knowing what to do now.<br/><br/>He heard something behind him. A rumbling and falling of rocks and other hard materials. As Erik looked behind him he felt the earth trembling below his feet, but not like the shaking caused by the earthquake. He then sees how one of the pillars collapsed. And then another one which then got followed by many more. Erik widened his eyes and curses softly as he watches how the building started collapsing.<br/>â€œLook out!â€ He hears someone shout as he felt the weight of another person plow into his side. The soldier sees how a wall flattens the ground where he just stood. When he falls to the ground he groans softly by the hard hit, but it was better than getting killed by the collapsing wall. A police officer had just lifted himself from the ground and brushed the soot from his uniform. Erik sighed relieved to know that he was not alone. He sat up and took a better look at the officer.<br/><br/>The man missed an forearm and hand. Also his face was gashed from his left eye to his chin. Erik covers his mouth, trying not to gag,  as he looked at the deformed officer. â€œJesus Christâ€¦â€ He then whispers softly and  watched the man. He was stunned by his question as he asked him, the person who still had all his limbs, if he was alright. â€œAahm.. I..  Iâ€™m fine.. Thanks.â€  He looked at his arm and then asks. â€œWhat happenedâ€¦?â€ Erik slowly got up and glanced at the collapsed building that he was in a few minutes ago.
