Dyane claps her hands sharply, her face lifting so she can speak clearly over the din of the gathergoers. "May I have your attention. The Boll Gather is coming to a close. In its honour, we are providing, with the Smithcraft of course, a fireworks show for your enjoyment!" Her eyes turn toward the Smiths, "By your leave." she says with a firm commanding tone.

The Smithcraft apprentice carefully lights the first fuse of the line of rockets, then quickly backs away as it sputters to life.

The rocket shoots into the air, with a loud screech, a tail of smoke following after it.

With a loud crack, the rocket explodes in a flash of white and lavender, a WeaverCraft welcome. The colors sparkle brightly, falling in a starburst pattern that reaches down to the ground.

Just as the red and white colors begin to fade, another rocket whizzes high up into the air trailing a streamer of scarlet-red smoke behind it. With a loud *BANG*, bright red and white sparkles light up the Southern Boll night.

Simile hides a yawn, the excitement of performing no longer keeping her awake. She goes off to look for her ride back home.

The apprentice lights the second fuse, backing away and peering upwards.

C'dre glances at his sister, giving Dyane a smile before looking up at the sky.

Seranna stands, arms around her husband and watches the show. "Wow." she breathes, her voice low.

The rocket zooms higher into the air, exploding in the still present smoke of the first burst.

Arjaii chuckles, holding Seranna.

It explodes loudly, separating the light into a pair of smaller circles of light, each sending streaks of blue and green across the sky.

Kathleen resumes her seat next to Kyrie and leans back again to better view the skies.

After lighting the third fuse, the apprentice backs away and plugs his ears, perhaps giving a hint of what is to come.

The rocket soars into the air, then explodes with a series of loud *BOOMS* and flashes of bright white light, each more blinding than the first. The noisy blasts reverberate throughout the entire Southern Boll area.

Kyrie watches the fireworks, reaching up a hand occasionally to calm her firelizards

The apprentice lights the fourth fuse and moves away from the rocket.

The rocket shoots into the air, then explodes, sending orange and yellow sparkles fluttering to the ground in a spiral motion, each circling slowly. The streaks hiss and sputter as they fall, like pieces of thread...although much less dangerous.

Kylee smiles in delight, eyes round and reflecting the bright fireworks.

Kimber watches the fireworks with a big grin, taking delight in the colors and patterns.

Brad looks around trying to see where his firelizard got to but not seing him just shrugs

Aidoann jumps at the bang, eep

The apprentice hisses as he burns his finger while lighting the fifth fuse, popping the singed finger into his mouth as he steps away from the rocket.

The rocket flies into the air, exploding with flashes of purple and blue, the explosion of vibrant colors reminding you of a VTOL fluttering its wings.

The apprentice grins in anticipation as he lights the final fuse, then steps away from the rocket.

Colors stream from the faded black, first green, then blue, brown, bronze, and finally gold. The colors remain in the sky for a moment, then slowly fade to nothing.

Dyane waits until the lights fade from the skies, then stands up, "Thank you for gracing Boll during its gather. This is the final event of the festivities, but please, feel free to stay as long as you like to enjoy the food and wares."
