A city gone up in flames

"The angel's have descended from Elysium to the Upper Realm. It is likely they have realised you no longer reside there and are trying to search for you to take you back, stop short the course of the prophecy if you will. The only issue is they do not appear to be doing this passively. Dreyfus has sensed a huge influx in magic in the Upper Realm…" he pauses, his face screwing up in pain, before adding: "Coming from the direction of Vriryn Palace."

My stomach goes cold. 

A terrified anticipation gnaws away at my mind, my brain spinning with thoughts and questions that lead us only further from the answers. From the look on Valerian's face, and the uneasy, fretful glances that are being exchanged round the room, it would be a safe assumption to make that the angels have not pulled this stunt for a very long time. Perhaps ever.
