fire caught the towels in a rush and roared up the blood red curtains where the ceiling tiles set alight with a violent, deadly quiet explosion, raining down small sparks of golden flame. they carried on the cooling breeze, floating majestically into the living room, landing on a small pile of papers and spellbooks, left by naboo that night. the soft wind blew, fanning the sparks. they caught quickly, spreading a dazzling sheet of charred remains and flame around the room, trapping the sleepers in their seperate rooms. the flames grew, helped by the warming summers breeze, slowly claiming each room for it's deadly tally. thick black smoke oozed consistantly, creeping under and around each bedroom doorway like tendrils of pure death, itching for its unsuspecting prey...
