Avariel Falcon returned to the power station after being called out on a wild goose chase looking for a non-existent machine in the Fells.
As the clockwork unicorn entered the courtyard she was presented with a scean of devastation. It was obvious that some sort of battle had taken place, there were unrecognisable twisted bits of clockwork strewn all over the courtyard. Among the remains of the clockwork were fragments of some sort of shells and splinters of wood from what was once the Useless Tree.
