It all started with an explosion.
A fiery crescendo that he saw before he felt, and he felt before he heard.
BOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!
Quinn got up from the porch he had been sitting on and looked towards the explosion. It had landed at the edge of the forest, where he could see a large fire already spreading from.
"What was that?" Kyle asked from beside him, "An attack?"
Quinn shook his head in the negative, the military would never go to such means to eradicate any one thing or person? They were known for their subtle attacks, not for large entrances.
"Probably a distraction" he mused, "Go inside and get as many guards as you can. We're going to need to stop the fire before it gets here"
Kyle nodded and dashed inside. Quinn meanwhile turned towards the already rapidly growing fire in the distance. The land was completely dry now and he knew there hadn't been a drop of rain for at least a month. The fire fed on the trees like a starving animal.
