FFM1: Summoning

Deceit came to a full halt, having stepped outside at the worst time possible. There was more chaos happening in the back yard than she could account for. Plants were hiccuping bubbles and coughing a weird combination of glitter and confetti. The hobgoblins had escaped their basement dwellings, and struck by Alice - each of them wore a tiny suit in various pastel colors. They were slamming upon or together against trash can lids, barrels and... a sewer pipe? Deceit was unsure, however that was the least of her concerns.

There was a few large cats currently chasing Alyves, his hooves cutting into freshly laid sod as he tried to evade the predators. Docerus was right behind them, screeching words of what Deceit could only explain as some weird love child of Gaelic and Greek. His hooves dug into the ground even deeper than Alyves, ruining the already maimed sod.

Deceit groaned. She was going to have to replace everything, again. Someone was going to have to pay for that.

She spied Damon, in all of his six year old almost thirty seven glory, playing with bricks on the roof of a small shed. Further bricks surrounded the shed, and there was a small trench with smaller puddles... currently inhabited by small, furry animals.

"Did you see the bears?" Etna remarked, and Deceit closed her eyes for a moment. She was not startled. She was a very important person and did not get startled when people randomly showed up behind her without noise, least of all her paternal aunt. Definitely not.

"Why are there bears." Deceit grumbled.

"Oh, there's lions and tigers, too." Etna huffed, and side-stepped the question.

"Why." Deceit tried again.

"Would you like some tea? Lemonade? Something stronger?"

"Etna." Deceit's voice held a slight edge.

"Merci and Newt are by the stables, practicing her summoning skills with Joker." Etna said in a rush. "The circus animals are only the beginning, and they keep going after guests. There's a fuzzy elephant in the front yard, and I think the lawn is afraid of it."

"She summoned a mammoth?" Deceit hissed. "They're summoning across time?"

"Apparently."

"Damnit."
