Like a pressure vessel bursting at it's seams the cairn stone vented it's overflow of mana into the environment the heavily enchantment aligned mana immediately latching onto the fortification domain and the mass of runes that covered the cairn stone, until in the blink of an eye even that could no longer contain the pulsing mass of mana and trails of mana shot off every which way like a decaying atom. Trails which were eagerly sucked up by the many rune stones in the area, flooding them with mana to degrees they were never meant to utilize. The world around the stones groaned as roots churned through the earth, wood creaked as it engorged itself as it readily sucked down the plentiful nature mana and forcefully nurtured by the magical sunlight exuded by a nearby growth stone, and stones themselves rumbled a few even shattering to pieces as they were subjected to an excess of mana. A rude awakening to most of the inhabitants of the area as houses began to stir almost as soon as their foundations had begun rumbling. Though many a man would try to take shelter outside of their homes, the rain of splintered bark and wood quickly dissuaded most forcing them to hide within the confines of their abode. As soon as the worst of it had stopped a silence fell over the Stoneworks, moments passed before anyone dared stir themselves as visible throughout the area the growing of plants still progressed at an unnatural speed. Soon though the bravest of souls began to stir, followed moments later by others and more noticeably flocks of ravens sprouted from every corner of the Stoneworks flying with haste and determination to their master carrying messages and reports. Not soon after they flooded the manor at the center of what once was the Stoneworks, now it was more akin to an elven forest or perhaps looking at the size of it's bounty the forest of giants might be more apt a description. Through an open window the incessant cawing of the unkindness that had formed outside could be heard, each raven their own report, and they spoke of those who'd been outside as the nature magic was unshackled and cascaded throughout, of those taken up into the trees some in person others in their houses foundation and all, of the bountiful harvest grains of wheat the size of grapes and apples the size of watermelons. However most importantly all reports began with "No casualties" to the relief of the mage overseeing the Stoneworks, people had been cut, bruised, caught splinters, and some (severely) inconvenienced, but none had come to pass or sustained severe injury. [color=#859abc][b]"Indeed even after all the chaos and the bombastic display of magic... The scent of blood in the air is thin."[/b][/color] His words carried almost like a lament on the wind as his brush combed through the fur of a stag at the side of the wolfskulled man. [hr] [color=#018c3b][b]"Well, I'm sure you can hear it as well. But it would seem even after all that happened everyone is mostly okay. Some injuries, and quite a bit of damage. But considering what just happened I think we've been quite lucky that it happened this early in the morning."[/b][/color] Zolya mentioned to Archer and Yue as the cawing from the ravens outside had let up and most of them had gone off to wherever they'd desired once more. [color=#018c3b][b]"And don't worry about the magic going awry, even if it was a bit of a mess, I would consider this to be quite the net positive."[/b][/color] [color=#0050ff][b]"Yeah, you probably single handedly solved the grain shortages within the undercity. But yeah, honestly as long as you don't sit next to that stone for four hours straight everything will be fine. I mean it was all fine one moment and then suddenly it was not okay and that's when all the hell broke loose, nothing we could have done to prevent that... Well maybe the more experienced mages should have used their heads better instead of just fucking around with magic."[/b][/color] Raudd interjected as he had taken back full control of his kitchen and was poaching the eggs as the latkes were frying in the pan. [color=#0050ff][b]"Oh, and breakfast is practically ready, so unless you wanna try your luck with the local cuisine of Shieldtown or eat another Meal Rejected by Everyone... I'd suggest you'd at least stick around at least another ten minutes."[/b][/color] His voice rang from the kitchen as the sound of hot crispy potato cakes leaving the fat and landing on plates filtered through in the background. The announcement of imminent breakfast caused the other Erling in the building to do a rare bit of housework as she began setting the table. And a minute later a pan of hot bubbling sauce came out of the kitchen carried by Raudd and quickly followed by a plate stacked with potato cakes. [color=#0050ff][b]"I'm more for the self service style of home dining. I only have an egg for each, but you're free to grab as much sauce and latkes as you want."[/b][/color] He mentioned to the guests as Zolya was the first to pour herself a good couple of ladles of the red bubbling liquid with a poached egg hidden in between until her bowl was filled to the rim and as quickly snagged a couple of the latkes from the plate, and Raudd motioned for his guests to follow suit. Leaving him as the last one to fish for the white golden treasure in the volcano sauce.
