A kingdom destroyed

One minute the king was socializing and then the next minute he was a pile of ashes on the floor.
 
It felt like time stood still as we all stared at the pile of ashes that once was the king. Then people started screaming and panicking, nearly trampling over each other to get out of the ballroom. Some people on the dancefloor took off their fancy attire to reveal that they had been wearing cultist robes underneath. Red sparks of electricity surrounded them and i got the feeling that they were in league with the elf that had stabbed the king. Zeno and Zyanya had also been on the dancefloor and once the cultists revealed themselves Zeno attacked a couple of the cultists causing them harm. A cultist then shot lighting at Zeno and electrocuted him but it was not fatal. Luckily I had been able to sneak in my bow and quiver of arrows under a shawl, and i went to shoot an arrow at the cultist but unfortunatley the cultist dodged it.
Zyanya cast a spell on a cultist which caused them to be frozen on the spot with fear. Zeno then kicked the cultist and I shot an arrow into that same cultist's head and it fell to the ground dead.
 
So much was happening amongst the chaos in the ballroom. I looked around and saw two enemies had killed prince Agostino, Arthom and Ko Rava killed those enemies and were also killing some of the other enemies around them. I could also see that Roza Baze and prince Liuni was killing some sort of elemental being. Syrus and Gurval were busy attacking the female elf that had killed the king. She also had red electricity surrounding her and unfortunatley she managed to zap Gurval and knock him down. Then John popped up out of nowhere near Gurval and helped him to his feet.
 
Just then more enemies entered the ballroom and i was not sure how we would be able to defeat them all since they seemed to outnumber us. The enemies dragged away one of the other princes and i could see that Arthom and Ko Rava were about to be surounded, but then Arthom shifted into a warhound, picked up Ko Rava in his mouth and headed to the entrance of the ballroom. Zeno then used a move which caused a shockwave to knock back some enemies and then myself, Zeno, Zyanya and Menet ran to where Arthom and Ko Rava were. We did what could to hold back the enemies and help the remaining civilians escape the ballroom whilst Syrus, Roza Baze, Gurval and John were attacking the kings killer.
 
Suddenly there was a flash and myself, Zyanya, Zeno, Syrus, Arthom, Lucid, Roza Baze, Ko Rava, John and Gurval found ourselves just outside the ballroom. I asked if any of the others knew how we got there and John then told us that he used his powers to teleport us. A large group of Aurelian reinforcements then arrived and went to deal with enemies in the ballroom. We were about to go and help them but then Lucid and Nakah were running up to us. Lucid exclaimed that a nearby volcano had erupted and lava was englufing the city, and was nearly at the palace. I then realised that i had not seen Gallant in a while but then he ran up to us and had the dragon egg in his mouth. I encouraged him to drop the egg and then Roza Baze picked it up. Before any of us had a chance to protest Nakah then opened a portal and said that we needed to get out of there before we got destroyed by the lava. We all stepped into the portal and left Diomeda to its unlucky fate.

The portal had luckily lead us back to Maya and once we had settled Nakah informed us that all the torn leylines had been repaired. He also mentioned that hopefully now he would be let into the Lazarus academy which seemed to really piss off Lucid and Ko Rava. He then thanked us for our help , opened a portal and left. I was not sure if we would ever see him again, but maybe that was not a bad thing.
