It had seemed... like a normal day from an outsiders view.





The Earthquake


The awful weather that had consumed the entire continent of Etryae had finally slowly down.
Stopped. Despite it being winter... it was a day like spring. A gentle breeze. Warm sun.

But after all the disasters the weather had been causing, the relief... was met with more concern.
It wasn't normal. It was supposed to be normal. But it wasn't. And Miya Blanc, the Mayor of Ivywood, who was also the Governor of Etryae, couldn't decide what news to tell everyone. It was over? It couldn't be. Scientifically, while this weather was nice... it wasn't right for the season. It was... concerningly warm and humid actually.

The petite woman hunched over her desk, amber eyes glancing over a mess of papers that had scientific scribbles all over them along with various weather reports. A large and menacing man that was easily recognized as Dullahan Kaiser, the chief of Law Enforcement in Ivywood and Head Security Guard. He stood leaning against a wall, brows furrowed and nose scrunched as if he smelled something unpleasant. However, he was just in a bad mood. Seeing the little miss working so hard trying to find out... whatever it was, pissed him off. He didn't know crap about that sort of thing so he couldn't help her. So he just... stood there and watched her.

"Any luck with that s**t?" The gruff voice finally spoke out, the petite woman glancing back to him and sighing deeply, "No. It doesn't make any scientif---"

The ground began to tremer. While this had been happening on and off the last two weeks... something was different. It wasn't just a small shake and stop. It began to escalate, knocking things off desks and shelves, shaking the entire building... and then the rain came.

Miya shot up, wheeling herself full speed towards the door, Kaiser quickly following, "Where the hell do you think you're going!?" he exclaimed, trying to grab the door to stop her, but the little lady was already speeding down the hall... the man groaned, "Damn, you and your rushing off to help people crap. It's not safe out there!" He quickly chased after her.



But things were just beginning. The rain was followed by dark clouds and howling winds, thunder cracking against the sky.




The Storm



Rushing outside, the duo were immediately soaked from the freezing rain, the harsh winds and shaking earth below them made it quite dangerous for several reasons. Miya cursed under her breath, "What in the world is happening?! These weather changes are irrational!!"

Suddenly, a booming cracking sound was heard, the pavement beginning to split apart.

Kaiser swore loudly, grabbing up Miya's entire wheelchair, "No way! **** this! We getting somewhere safe!"
Miya looked to him, "Kaiser put me down we have to---"

The winds became howling, but above in the sky among the storm were the colors of an aurora...
The shaking began immense, a huge sound like a chime being hit ringing out throughout the entire area.

And suddenly... it all stopped.



Bits of light rose from every part of the ground, passing through everything like it almost didn't exist...





The light



Kaiser slowly lowered Miya's wheelchair to the ground, and the moment the wheels hit something solid Miya rushed forward looking around.
"It's a disast--..." She looked at all the bits of light, then took a further look around. Everywhere, bits of crystal of all different sizes had burst out of the ground. Glowing and shining like the lights coming out of the ground. Miya grinned, snapping her fingers, "I knew it couldn't be natural! It's more of that weird magic stuff that's been going on!"

The large male looked to her sarcastically, "Yes, that's all great and stuff that you had your epiphany... but, everything is a complete ***ing mess! And YOU could have got yourself killed!" He replied angrily.

Miya sighed a bit, running a hand through her damp hair. "Well, you're right. We have bigger problems. I need to call a town meeting. We're going to have to reach out for help to fix everything..."






Later on...


The disaster had caused a lot of damage to the town and surrounding area.
The beautiful crystals and lights that had come out of the ground while amazing, did not ease the hearts of the citizens seeing their beloved home in such a mess.

Mayor Miya had no choice but to call an emergency council, and reach out to everyone in town to assist with getting things back to normal.
In the town plaza, she called the meeting, and filled with members of Ivywood standing around she rose her voice, Kaiser standing behind her with an irritated expression and his arms crossed.

"The recent weather seems to have been leading up to this disaster, and I can't yet explain what these crystals have to do with everything. But we are studying them as we speak, and will be gathering more samples. However, the bigger issue at hand is the state of our beloved home, so thus Town Hall has decided to reach out to anyone able to help, to aid us!" Miya announced, she then gestured to a line up of the Town Hall officials and council holding signs with job names, "Each of the Officials here have jobs for everyone according to your own strengths and will be leading you in what to do." She explained, then raised her hand, "But we know everyone is struggling for supplies, so your work will not go unrewarded! We appreciate your co-operatation at this time, and we're sure with everyone's help, everything will be back to normal soon!"
