Mauro's surroundings disappeared from his notice as he strived to carry himself and Garnet to the dungeon and away from the monsters which reaped fiery chaos on Aimonbay Estate. One of the servants waved wildly at him from the safe-haven. 


"Come on, you two!" he called. "Get to the dungeon! Quickly now!" 


Mauro made haste towards the servant and passed the grand hall just as it erupted into balls of flame. The heat from the burst singed all three of the desperate victims. Garnet screamed as both of her ankles caught fire, then screamed again as the servant vehemently put them out. Then the servant pushed Mauro forward, away from the massive inferno and towards the door to the dungeon.
