A Loud Boom

[Jameson_h 334]

(Thanks for the help not having this be garbage Charbi)

 

The night in Elysium remained quiet for quite some time as it normally did at such a late hour. However,  without warning, a single loud explosion could be heard from the top of the highest palatial tower ending with the distant sound of glass smashing to the ground beneath. Anyone who looked out their window to search for the noise would see a slight but steady pouring of smoke coming from the now missing windows of the tower.

Those within the tower had a slightly different experience. The de Astreas and the posted Lunarian guards would feel quaking in addition to the noise  that trembled down to even the lowest quarters, sending the guards into action, the source quickly being found. Fearing  some kind of potential attack, the white armored figures took the massive lift up to the top floor only to find one Fitzgerald De Astrea flung onto his side from where an explosion seemed to emanate. The young  man was thankfully still breathing,  though entirely unconscious in the ruined laboratory.

 

Subsequently, the young Lord would struggle for a night, having to be resuscitated once at the dismay of his close family. However, after many hours of peaceful rest Fitzgerald would open his eyes with a flutter, glancing around with apparent confusion. The doctor attending to him, Esmeralda Guenevere, noticed the small movement and walked over quickly to examine him. 

“Careful Fitz, not too quick,” she said down to him. “Uh… why am in the clinic… and who are you?” he asked curiously to the woman should have  known quite well.

 

Strange as it was, many people might’ve visited him, only to receive the young man's apologetic look and an introduction. After sufficient physical recovery,  it was determined that while he had his faculties about him, he would quickly learn that he had forgotten many faces and more than a few specific skills: while he could recall fletching an arrow he had little to no recollection of actually shooting a bow. 

For now, the man would carry on with most of his work, confused as he was at times.

Amelia Mondblume would write several letters, even leaving some pages of her written diary within his room at the palace. Each was stained with some dried tears or a longing kiss mark. Each and everyone was addressed to Fitzgerald de'Astrea.

Amura was woken from her nap and is cranky for one elven day.

Frisket would seemingly wake up in the night, the explosion rocked the lower levels of the house as some dust fell onto her bed side, she immediately arose to see her eldest son and daughter look around, a bit panicked as they debated with each other. With one Hiss and tisk from her the two quitted down as the ruckus ended. Immediately there after She went outside to see such area where the explosion came from, she dashed forward as other Lunaran Guards dashed towards the fire, with her in suite behind them in her night gown and spear, she had no time to armor up as she went to investigate only to see the other Lunaran guards handle it. as they carried Fitz away from the danger.

"You know what they say.......Never a dull day in Elysium.......

 

She Sighs heavily as she turns back to see if her home was not collapsed and to armor up.....

The sudden rocking of the castle and echoing explosion woke Mica with an extreme jolt and a tumble out of bed. At first the world didn't make sense. If they were under attack then why wasn't there a second wave? Her mind raced as she ran with the others, wanting to see what happened and why only to--

Panic set in when she saw Fitz in the clinic. Again. It was all she could do to silently pray to the Mother Moon as she watched Amelia leave the clinic and put on a calm mask when she, herself, went in to see how her adoptive father was doing.
