"Surround the wreckage. Try to find as many survivors as you can John yelled in the dust cloud. Several of the servants went out and began going through the wreckage, some using the broken parts of the ship as simple machines to move more of the broken parts out of the way. John went to help when he suddenly noticed something overhead. 'Is that a... a Gunther flagship?" He thought as several men started coming down. Quickly, John grabbed one of the soldiers and looked him in the eye. "What's going on here?" He demanded.
"Two alive, four dead." One servant yelled to a young woman, coming with a box of medical supplies. The servant, an older gentleman in his 60s then walked up to Cedric and Shepard. "Are you two boys alright?"

Cedric and Shepard were instanteley surrounded by strangers, both from the ship and from the villa, Cedric was about to reach for a weapon but Shepard stopped him.
"keep cool" he whispered in his ear
Cedric did as he was told. He looked over at the old man who had come over to them and nodded "I'm fine, just a few scrapes" Cedric took a look around, the destroyed ship, all the people surrounding him 'Deja vu...wait...' he thought, the while day was repeating itself before his eyes.
Shepard nodded, obviously he was badly hurt, from deep scratches to burns but he wasn't going to say anything "I'll survive" he said

"Can you walk?" The older man asked Cedric, lifting Shepard somewhat to take the majority of his weight. "Try to make it inside the villa. There's too much smoke out here, and your both likely to get infected. We'll get you cleaned up in there." He said. Helping Shepard towards the villa while John was still distracted.

"yes" Cedric said managing to take steps forward, now that the adrenaline was wearing off the pain was starting to hit hard. With every step he cringed, Maybe he wasn't as fine as he thoug he was. "excuse me sir, but who does this villa belong too?" he asked calmly while hiding the pain in his face.
Shepard accepted the help from the man, he didn't want to admit it but he probably wouldn't have made it inside on his own. He looked over at Cedric when he asked the question, even though he was curious he didn't want to seem to nosy, especially after crashing a ship on their front lawn

"Baron Thunderbird." The old man replied. "He's a generous young man, even if he seems a bit cruel at times. He means well." The old man replied, helping Shepard inside and laying him down. One of the girls propped up Shepard's head as he was laid on the floor, and they began treating his wounds. "Don't worry. I'm a doctor and an herbalist. This will sting a bit, but it will disinfect the wounds." He said, starting to treat Shepard. The girl servant then went to Cedric and helped him to one of the chairs.

Cedric entered the room where a few people were ready to treat them "Baron Thunderbird..." Cedric mumbled thinking about the name for a moment, he took a sit and thanked the girl who had come to help him, suddenly he realized where he had heard the name before "oh no..." he mumbled out and looked over at Shepard who was being treated.
Shepard lay on the bed letting the man get to work on his burns, when he heard the name thunderbird being mentioned he signed "Cedric, did you complete your mission?" he grunted out, he turned and saw Cedric nod his head 'yes' "Damn" he said knowing that they were in trouble

"It seems your in shock more then anything. You're very fortunate. There are a few shallow wounds and burns, but nothing life threatening." The old man told Shepard. "You should start feeling a lot better in an hour, but I suggest getting a good night's rest with as little stress as possible." He said, then went to look Cedric over. "Is something the matter boys?" The old man asked as he started cleaning Cedric's wounds. Of course, none of the servants knew about what Cedric did.

Cedric was still out of it when the man spoke to them "huh...?" he managed to say before regaining his composure "oh, no everything's fine" he said letting out a faked laugh.
Shepard managed to push himself up so he could talk to the man "We're fine sir" he barely finished his sentence before feeling his arm sting "we appreciate the help..." he lay back down and stared at the ceiling "I hope the Baron won't be too angry at us over that accident"

"I'm sure he understands. The young master lost his family in a similar accident, but that was a long time ago." The old man replied. "He's been rather closed up since then, but his accomplishments never ceased to amaze me."
Hector walked over to a rather large piano in her room and stretched her fingers before sitting down. After taking a deep breath, she began to play the instrument with speed and skill. In little time at all, the whole villa began to resound with beautiful music.
"Hmm... it seems the young master wants something." The old man muttered.
"That song... He wants some tea." The maid replied. "Do you need my help?"
"No. I think I've got it. You go get his tea." The old man replied. At that, the maid went to the kitchen.

Azura landed on the lawn, and spoke to several of the men. He was acting differently than normal. Almost like a serious gentlemen. As he approached the group of men, he came across someone in particular. It was john. "Hello, again sir. I was wandering if your seen a lad about your height, with spiky hair?" Azura kept looking around and did not find him. So he turned his attention back to John. "Where are they taking the wounded? Also where is my fiance?"
Leigh was still locked in a new room, being questioned. "I told you the truth about how I got on board the ship. I was only following the Baron, with the Prince. He wanted to make sure that the new hire Hector, bought, got word about his family. We were just traveling. I wasn't trying to kill Hector or anything. I carry a gun for my protection. " Leigh kept out the part about her being a mechanic and mercenary. She figured if she spoke up about the mercenary title. she be held longer. Why would they think this teenager would harm the Baron.

"The Prince of Gunther?" John said with slight disgust. "The wounded are inside, and your fiance is that girl who came aboard our ship, she's being confined in the palace dungeon. This is private property, so I suggest you take the wounded and leave as soon as possible." He said tersely, wanting to get the prince out of his face and away from Hector as soon as possible.

Cedric turned his head trying to hear the music better, although it was fast paced it was very beautiful, Cedric was mesmerized. Was this the same person he had met on the ship? The one who seemed so wicked?
Shepard nodded "that's tragic" even though he was speaking Shepard seemed like he was miles away from everybody else, his mind wandering about who knows what..

A moment later, the maid was ready with a platter and started walking up the stairs. She turned down the hall and went into Hector's room.
Hector stopped playing the music for a moment and turned to the maid. The room was dark, only lit by a small lamp, and Hector looked intently at the music sheets. "Just leave the tea over there." Hector told her. "By the way, how are things going out there?" She asked.
"Um... well there are two survivors and they don't seem to be hurt badly, but the others have died."
"That's a pity..." She muttered. "They have my permission to stay for the night since it's so late. As for everything else, you know what to do. Well, carry on." she said before starting to play a soft and slow nocturne.
"Yes, Lord Hector." The maid replied before going down the stairs, blushing wildly. "T-the lord g-gave you permission to s-s-stay the night. H-he gives his c-condolences." She stuttered.

Shepard looked at the woman as she walked in stuttering, staying the night would be strange but it would be the best thing for both of them "thank you"
Cedric stood up, although he didnt want to stay the night he dudnt have much of an option now. He looked over at the old man "Is it okay if I step out for a moment?" he asked, although he wasn't fully healed yet he began to feel uncomfortable in the room.
