(Nooguy)<br/>Gina tilted her head, seeming confused before nodding. "I suppose. A walk would be nice, to calm both of our nerves." She said, taking Sasha's hand in a soft grasp before looking back at Hubert. "Will you alright with staying here and resting?"<br/><br/>"Been to the doorway to death once today, don't see a reason to go back." Hubert huffed, laying back on the table. With a giggle, Gina led Sasha out the door just in time to see a bright flash of light down the road, engulfing the Meeting Hall. In another moment the shockwave came, Gina moving quickly to sweep Sasha off of her feet, using her body as a shield as a massive wave of dust and debris washed over them.<br/><br/>(XarcesTheDelicious)<br/>Jaas gave Xarces a sour look. "I didn't bring you here to listen to your sob story or have you pander to my own with your sniveling hope of mutual understanding." She hissed, yanking the bottle out of the waiters hand as be brought her another, taking deep pulls from it.<br/><br/>The shockwave shook the whole restaurant, blowing the windows out, a piece of rubble shooting out and shattering the wine bottle. The drink spilled all over her, leaving her stunned for a moment before she sighed. "...First the meeting...then this? I swear to god, I'm going to drag whoever did this to the black abyss of the sea before showing them where the real hell is..." She stood from the table, stomping out the front door, not even bothering to check if anyone was hurt, leaving Xarces to whatever he suffered from the blast, if anything at all.<br/><br/>(letsgowiththat)<br/>As he exited the door, no sooner did his eyes graze past the Meeting Hall did he watch if go up in brilliant white flames before exploding up in a great pilar. Besides wiping out whatever buildings and people were nearby, the shockwave destroyed and damaged whatever was outside the primary blast. So sudden was it that it would be by sheer miracle that Garrick would make it out of this. It just so happened that, if be could not act fast himself, the burst would send him head over heal into a convinient cart full of hay, which would then flip on top of him and keep him safe from the worst of the explosion.<br/><br/>(Bright)<br/>Jules fate was much the same as Garrick's, though he was a good distance further away as to not be in such danger. He would be blown off of his feet, though, and sent hurtling back into the Library. The building shook on its supports and many people would be panicked and harmed by falling books or broken glass, but the building took the worst so that fatality could be prevented.<br/><br/>(Meeting Hall)<br/>From the billowing white flame and rubble stood the figure who orchestrated this attack. He remained unscathed, despite being at the heart of the blast. He walked out into the now destroyed plaza, holding the now burning contract in his hands.<br/><br/>"...With this I unravel your false sense of peace..." He said with an air of disgust, clenching his fist around what remained of the document. "I will fulfill the true purpose of the stones and did this world of the taint which you all prolong. He opened his hand again, staring at the two remaining shards of a Stone long thought annihilated.<br/><br/>The Onyx Stone.
