The sky was streaked with varying sparks, waves, and runes of magic. It wavered and shook with the effort of a great battle. Suddenly a large boulder over one thousand miles away shattered into a plume of dust that rained down over the area.
Everything stilled. The quiet, after so much effort, was a bit mind numbing.
Jin looked at Shram incredulously. Brita held a stiff smile that clearly said she was desperately holding back laughter. Rachel looked blankly at the area where the boulder had once been.
A slow clap began and quickly picked it up its pace, behind them. The four turned as one to face the noise, as soon as they did Rebecca started laughing. Rachel lowered her eyes and shook her head.
"It seems that you need to work on your aim." Smral stopped clapping as he surveyed the area where the boulder had once been. He turned his gaze to Shram just as the Sphinx bristled a bit in embarrassment.
