Sparks shot into the air from within the forest; after a moment or two, they died down... but were followed by a massive explosion, sending birds scattering everywhere, making smoke rise from within the forest, and catapulting Xor into the air, crashing into a different part of the forest, near Saphir. He looked as though he were about to land flat on his back (which probably would have broken it) but instead caught his balance, and used his wings to flip, and land safely on his feet. He got up, and dusted himself off. "Well, whaddya know, all those bangs and flashes and we still don't know whether Vlaardi was right, or whether Olhal's even ALIVE anymore." he muttered, apparently to himself, because he then turned and noticed Saphir and Sor. "Yeah, not too good a sign if you ask me." he added to them, before darting off into the forest where such an explosion had occured.
