In the country Deira, located on the central continent of the world that was inhabited by diverse races and many classes of people, there were a couple of major cities that held the power over the current economic and social equilibrium. One of these major cities, known as Soma, was within the top five of the nation for its economy and social standing. Many lords and ladies who were descendants of the royal family inhabited Soma, for it was well known for its forbidden districts and beautiful architecture.<br/><br/>It was on such a day that the citizens of Soma were enjoying their leisurely activities, shopping in the markets or strolling through the streets when a huge national event would occur. An airship of the royal navy was seen by the citizens in the sky, smoke and flames erupting from it. Many were horrified by the sight, for Deira was not at war so there was no reason for people to be in such terrible condition, and began to gather in the streets to watch.<br/><br/>However, soon they were fleeing for their lives when they noticed that the airship was descending in the sky, not ascending. The airship was coming down, and it was going to fall into the city. Many transport pods evacuated out of the smaller airship, fleeing to try and save as many lives of the crew as possible. There was a prime building in the airship’s path, and word quickly spread that people needed to evacuate. It was going to come down right on a central shopping district, and it was impossible to stop it.<br/><br/>Screaming filled the streets as people fled, and there were others trying to force buildings to be cleared. One of these people was a young woman named Alexandria Boudreaux. Known as Alexia to most, she was the daughter of a merchant lord, and it was her job to run the local shop on the day this airship came crashing down into the city. Barking out orders like the aristocrat she was, she helped clear the path for the airship as it came crashing down onto the city.<br/><br/>Unfortunately Alexia was caught in the crash, taking shelter in a nearby building as the airship came onto the ground and exploded. Once the flames had subsided a bit, Alexia fled from the wrecked building she was trapped in, digging herself out and eventually emerged to see the destroyed district. Panting heavily, she thanked her blessings before emerging from the wreckage, covered in grime and a bit of blood from cuts she received, feeling that her leg was damaged. She was in too much shock to truly feel the amount of pain that was coming from the wound, so she kept trudging forward.<br/><br/>Hobbling away from the wreckage, Alexia spotted some survivors that she knew, people who worked for her and her father. Immediately going toward them, she smiled and eagerly took a helping hand, using the support to walk better so she could get away from the wreckage. There was a makeshift triage area, and the crew she worked with immediately took her there. A medic arrived and immediately got to work removing the piece of shrapnel that was embedded in her thigh. She screamed loudly in pain as it was removed, and quickly passed out from the pain and the sight of it all.<br/><br/>Citizens and victims of the event were left scurrying around the district in a panic, trying to extinguish fires and rescue those who were caught in the destruction. The reactions of the people were diverse and strong, weak and frantic. However, the events of this day would cause a shift in the balance of power not only for Deira, but for the souls directly affected by this event.
