It made Charlie sick to look at them, for the sole reason that if the heat was strong enough to bend metal, what would it so to human skin. But they pushed on, trying to find any sign of survivors.ДЄs they searched, they found the remains of a couple of DmitriвЂ™s Bots, all charred and burnt into grotesque shapes by the heat. The heat hit them both like a sledgehammer, so much so that they almost retreated back outside. вЂњVery well.вЂќ Blane said sighing and followed Charlie inside rapidly falling manor. All four of AlanвЂ™s sons were somewhere inside the burning manor, along with Deryn and Jimmy, both having ruled themselves out of fighting. вЂњThere are people still inside!вЂќ Charlie yelled back. вЂњYou canвЂ™t go in there the place will collapse in a few minutes!вЂќ Blane shouted over the fire, but Charlie was having none of it, especially from the likes of this man. She began to run towards the manor when Blane held out an arm. As he spoke Charlie seemed to be first to hear this cry, and she rushed forward towards the manor.ДЄs the building continues to burn, Charlie observes the devastation with horror, which immediately worsens when she heard that there were people still inside the burning building. вЂњMy kids are in there!вЂќ Alan shouted trying to make people understand. The old butler tried to steady Alan, but he was having none of it. He limped forward hurriedly, much to the amazement of Vernon.

Before dawning, realisation hit him like an anvil.

вЂњGods.вЂќ Alan said, looking at the burning hulk. He smelled the flames before he ever saw them, as Alan gathered himself up, helped by Dmitri and Vernon who had landed near him, he turned to see his house on fire. He felt himself being flung forward by the force of the explosion. he turned and saw the fireball, crash into the manor, causing a massive explosion to come from the building. Alan had a vague sense of someone shouting him, but he didnвЂ™t hear what was being said. Echo ran for it as fast as his four legs would allow, the reason for the panic soon became clear as they saw they huge fireball towards them from the sky.
