    Heath, Mary and Duncan leave the soup kitchen and file out onto the streets to the cataclysm unfolding in the sky above them: A fire-dragon, or more accurately, a dragon made purely of fire, cruises through the air, rupturing and smashing the four seasons to pieces.

    Fire dragon


    Meanwhile on the other side of the street, Shin, Adam and Leon also hear the rumbling and look up. Erez, the lost girl they had been communicating with, screeches in horror and bolts. As she runs, she accidently knocks a table on its side, spilling various trinkets everywhere.

    Both groups watch on in shock as Spartan leaps from the top of the four Seasons at the flame-dragon burning down the building only to fall through it, immolated and rapidly hurtling towards the pavement below. Seemingly defying physics, an iron band flies down from the sky, bouncing off the ground before eventually coming to a rest beside Duncan’s right shoe, the metal still glowing red from dragon’s fire.

    Within minutes the building collapses, spewing rubble, dust and smoke up the nearby streets and leaving behind nothing but a heavily-smoking ruin. An unearthly chittering sound can be heard coming from an alleyway behind the two groups.

    Heath runs forward towards the burning wreckage of the grand hotel that was their home and center. Thoughts raced through the Minstrel's mind. Was it an accident, was it on purpose? Who, why? No answers came to mind. It was beyond knowing. Heath couldn't wear his smile, couldn't feel the mirth of the world at his fingertips. Now there was fear, shock, and mourning.

    New thoughts occur. Was anyone caught in the blaze? Mr. Bates, the Lost residents. Were they targets? Were they responsible? No, no more questions!

    He had stopped momentarily to reflect, to take it in, but now he was running forward again towards the blaze. He could start to feel its heat in the air, wafting against his wooden skin. He sees the others gathered outside, recognized them, and runs to meet them.

    Rolls
    "No..." groans Heath between panting breaths as he nears the site of the collapsed building. He had seen Spartan for a moment as he defended the structure. But the Minstrel could not see him now, and smoke and dust began to obsure his vision. He could do nothing. He knew if he jumped into the rubble it would only be suicide. He was no fighter, nor was his body changed to endure such destructive forces. Still, he hears the chittering of something around him and glances to and fro to see what it could be.

    Mary's eyes start to tear up at the immediate realization that Spartan is clearly dead, but the first thought that crosses her jaded mind at the vision of destruction is only one word, Figures.

    Leon's fists clenched and he took two steps towards the terror before him, taking off his shades revealing his blood red eyes for a change. "I..." His words were stuck, nothing could come to the surface, feeling Lavish nearby he glanced back for a moment before returning to the horror. Spartan falling, what could I do if He had failed? he looked to the shades in his hands before looking back to the burning wreackage.

    Placing his glasses on Leon reached into his pocket and pulled forth a hip flask. Removing the cap he drained it before tightening the flask and setting off at speed to the wreakage. Survivors

    Seeing Heath nearby he looked from him to the rubble, he was a strong guy but his mind didnt know what to do, it never knew. "We have to do somthing." he got out his speach sounding paniced and worn.

    Adam's eyes widened as he watched what was happening and he shook slightly. One hand clutched the snow-globe as the other tightened into a fist, nails digging into his palm. His attention was fixed on what was going on, with Spartan's sacrifice. With the destruction. He saw Leon run past him but his own feet wouldn't move, his legs wouldn't work. He was frozen. A predator bigger than him. He was scared.

    "Please, lord, tell me I'm drunk."

    "Are any of you injured!?"

    A powerful voice cuts across the general din of the surrounding chaos, and Warren Lock can be seen striding over from another street with single minded purpose. There is a grim set to his jaw. A fire burns in his yellow eyes that cannot compare to the blazes around them, and in the sky. Nevertheless, it is an inferno that remains undiminished.

    Two metres tall, with impossibly broad shoulders and a long gait, the Witchtooth is still no giant.

    But he is nothing to scoff at, either.

    Even dressed as plainly as he is, the bearing is proud and unapologetic. But Locke is not posturing. He is focused.

    So focused, in fact, all he is paying attention to is the condition of the fellow Lost he has discovered. And nothing else.

      Looks clear to me...

    Marcus had pulled out of the hotel parking lot and was on his way to the west side when the shit hit the proverbial fan. A horrible sick feeling crawled into his stomach and dug its claws into his guts as he tried to navigate rush hour traffic made even stupider than usual by the blaring police cars and fire trucks. Finding it impossible to return the way he had just come, the metalflesh angrily cut through traffic to take the long way around. Helplessly watching the fiery dragon destroy the Four Seasons, Marcus feels his mantle flare in impotent rage as he speeds back to the hotel. Slamming on the brakes, he gets out of his Jeep to get a better look as his unbelieving eyes watch Spartan hurl himself at the beast. The Summer courtier feels a cold, numb shock creep into his limbs as the charred carcass of his king hits the ground with a sickening thud. Hedgespun armor forged by his own two hands twisted and fused to the burnt meat that was left. Time stops as the wheels in his head uselessly spin in a futile attempt to comprehend what has just happened. However, a sharp clang snaps him out of it as the iron crown clatters nearby. For the first time, Marcus realizes that he isn't alone and slowly walks over to the other changelings gathered nearby, giving his friend Duncan a grim nod. Words can't even begin to express what the two Summer elementals are feeling right now. As he finally opens his mouth to speak, a strange sound from behind catches his attention and he turns his head to find the source.

    "What the..."

    As everyone watches onwards, the dragon, having finished frying the four seasons and some of the nearby area, plunges back into the ground with a crack, leaving a spray of fire in it's wake.

    Marcus can feel the fabric of reality that separates the mundane world from the Hedge stretch and strain as the hotel crumbles before his eyes. He can feel the barrier between worlds being rent asunder both behind and below him. He glances at the pavement below his feet before turning his attention toward the alley.

    Damn sewer again...

    "Right, looks like we've got a couple of rabbit holes nearby. One in the sewer below us and one in that alley right over there."

    Seeing the spider-like creatures emerge from the alley, the metalflesh silently curses as he steels himself for a fight by invoking the blessings of his elemental nature.

    For fuck's sake... why are there always spiders around when this happens?!

    "Incoming!"

    Mary's immediate reaction is to shake her head, as though to clear the fog of fatigue from her mind with closed eyes for a moment so that she'd stop seeing giant spiders headed towards her. That, of course, failed. So instead, she recoils behind Heath. She wasn't faintly aware that he probably not the best person to hide behind in this instance, but he was the closest familiar face. And she hadn't quite anticipated "Giant Crazy Spiders Day" so early in the year.

    "Uh oh. Uhm, what should we do?"
