The storm clouds have been torn apart by fierce winds, leaving the scene in disarray. Five swords, symbols of a devastating battle, lay scattered. Four are shattered, clearly belonging to the defeated. Even the seemingly victorious fifth sword shows signs of fragility, with fine cracks running through it. Around it, once-lustrous jewels have lost their brilliance and fallen from the hilt. In this chaotic aftermath, one must question: was there ever a true victor in this conflict?
