First Confrontation
Shou was the first to make it outside, seeing as he was closest to the door. He was promptly hit by a wave of air, brushing past his whole body and sending his clothes and hair aflutter. Following that came a cloud of dust and debris that put a haze around the whole area. He had to cough and close his eyes before truly being able to see what exactly had occurred.
The actual explosion was far away, indicated by the rising smoke from that particular place. Faint sounds of screaming, as well as a pale hue of orange, were also good signs that the unrest was over there. Smaller blasts continued on, though they weren't anything much compared to the first big one.
The others of the Store of Fates came rushing out too. Lan Jiu came right after Shou, with his weapon drawn. "Who's raiding our store?"
"It's not 'our' store. It's mine," Shou corrected him. "And no one is, the big boom came from that far away place."
