That seemed to end their meeting with the Lord, as the man was already beginning to sketch magical circles and notes in a small book before his wife even called for the Butler to escort Karl and Dana back to the Garden Party.
Few would notice that they had disappeared for so long, as there were many other important people to meet, and going off to a private meeting room wasn’t uncommon when there were business deals to finalize.
Soon, it was becoming dark, and a quiet announcement was made by the serving staff that the fireworks would start soon.
{Everyone, the fireworks are going to start soon, get yourself into a good position with a clear view of the Castle. The staff say they’re launched from the tower.} Karl warned.
{You’re not coming?} Lotus replied.
{We’re still at the Garden Party. I don’t think that we can make it to you in time.}
The staff began to bring out reclined chairs for the guests to lay on and look up at the fireworks without straining their necks. They were immediately popular with the younger couples, and some of the older ones, who chose to share a seat for the show.
Karl did the same, pulling Dana back so that she was lying halfway on top of him and looking up at the night sky, which was rapidly fading to black as the city of Drodh turned off all unnecessary lights for the evening.
That would make it a pain for some to get back home tonight, but they would certainly get the best view of the fireworks.
The Lord went all out on the show as well. The first set of explosions lit the air exactly on the hour, as promised, and Karl noticed that while there were conventional fireworks in the mix, about half of the show was actually magical lights, creating a backdrop for the setting.

The reason for that was actually quite obvious. The explosions of the fireworks could be felt from the ground, and the sound was part of the whole experience. The magical lights didn’t have that, so casting them in time with the actual fireworks didn’t detract from the overall experience.
The show went on for half an hour, and then the sky went dark and silent as the magical lamps that lined the streets of Drodh came back on, marking the end of the festivities.
Karl led Dana out of the Castle and out into the city streets, which were filled with revellers and drunks. Karl was briefly concerned about the ladies, then realized that Thor was with them. If something had happened, he would have already known.
So, Karl was not surprised when he arrived back at the house to the smell of popcorn and caramel.
The kitchen staff was mixing up a batch of snack mix for the night. Popcorn, caramel and peanuts, all mixed in a huge bowl.
"What do we have as a show tonight?" Karl asked as he paused at the base of the staircase.
"I don’t know yet. Little Butterfly won’t tell Thor, but there are actors on the stage, waiting for us." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Karl followed Dana up the stairs, playfully batting at her tail, and then walked down the ramp that had been added outside the tower window by the butterfly, making it easier to get to the city below without wings.
When Karl got down to their chosen seat for the night, a pile of cushions with a large blue blanket, he looked down at the stage and frowned in confusion.
