“You can let her through,” Sylvia demanded as she saw the queensguard barring entry from one of her ladies, Lady Aurora. “Oh, honestly? I’ve known her my whole life, she’s no threat,” she told them as they started to protest. They had sequestered her in a small room off the throne room after the body had been found, and while Sylvia knew it was for her protection, she was not happy that she didn’t know much about what was happening. They let Aurora in and Sylvia waved her over to her. “What’s happened? Have they identified the body, how did he die? This is a disaster, an unmitigated disaster!” @aurora-windsor​

It happened so fast. One moment, Faye was helping Aurora get something ready for the party, and the next, the ground was shaking, bedrock shifting underfoot, stone cracking overhead as the primal force of nature turned against them. Faye was acutely aware that this was not natural; if it were, she would’ve sensed the changes beforehand. She didn’t have time to process that, however, as a massive chunk of stone broke free from a nearby wall, falling directly towards the queen. Faye didn’t think, only acted, magic bubbling up under her fingertips, sending a mass of golden sparks towards the stone, she blasted it to oblivion, then created an iridescent golden shield, like a bubble that  swelled over them, catching the rest of the rock fragments and harmlessly deflecting them. Only when the shaking had subsided, did Faye look towards the queen. “Are you all right?”
