The Death of House Sorenn-Syrush: Part 4 - The Burning of Ishanna
Rabaan - House Sorenn-Syrush Manor
This wasn't some half-assed plan that had been hatched at the last moment - no; this was a contingency plan that had been set in place months in advance before even such an event that plagued the family had happened. Though she did not think it would come to this, it still had to be done. The world had been locked down, the Order of the Seven Flames brought in to secure much of anything of value in terms of lands and holdings of House Sorenn-Syrush.
The woman stood quietly as she watched, her golden hues hidden behind the mask as a low wheezing filled the air around her. Slowly she brought her hands behind her back, holding them together before she nodded. The first round tore through the structure, setting the manor house ablaze nearly in an instant. The next round tore through the upper window and shortly an explosion ripped through the second floor.
It had begun, the burning of Ishanna as it would be remembered - though this was something that had to happen - for it was the only way to save House Sorenn-Syrush. What better way to ensure its destruction that at the hands of its own members carefully pulling the foundations down and rebuilding anew? Thus it would continue as the Manor was engulfed in flames - though to ensure that it looked as though there were some caught unawares, much of the staff within had been left behind.
As the last shell tore into the building - creating a furious blaze - as the explosion tore through the structure; a soft smirk remained upon her lips. This was the beginning of a rebirth, one that was to come swiftly. She had already seized much of the House Sorenn-Syrush holdings throughout the Commenor Systems Alliance and beyond - though now all that remained was to finalize it all.
