Andar small town was greeted with a loud bang from an explosion, and everyone in the street looked with dread as the entire top half of the four-story laboratory of the esteemed Alchemist in their town rose as if gripped by the hand of a giant before it slammed down destroying the entire building and any others in its vicinity.
A huge wave of dust and debris was scattered as many chemicals and reagents kept inside the laboratory began releasing fumes and some of them combusted, creating many-colored flames that lit up the skies.
Luckily enough, the Alchemist had purchased the entire street decades ago, and the houses there were empty, else the casualties would have been in the hundreds.
Two figures emerged from the dust, Silas and a shaken Mayor, who was finding it difficult to comprehend the quick changes happening, just a moment ago, they had all been smiling and celebrating the birth of a profound genius, now… it was all chaos.
