Characters: Temeraire and YOU!
Date: April 26
Location: Outside the Palace of Landed Sky
Situation: Following the attacks, Temeraire calls the nascent Keeliai Aerial Corps to investigate the palace.
Warnings/Rating: Probably injuries as a result of encountering the barrier? Other exciting developments? WE SHALL SEE.

It was at once obvious something was wrong with the palace; in hindsight, he ought to have looked to it sooner. It was only that there were so many other things to occupy one's attention, when one's friends had been injured, and one's apartment had been converted into a makeshift shelter for one's kedan neighbors, and one's console flickered alarmingly, at the edge of one's vision, so one was never entirely certain if one was seeing it or not--

But now he kept the monstrous, spiky form of the palace firmly in view as he flew, with as many of his crew as he could carry clipped onto his harness. If there was anything that could be done, he resolved to find it; it was the least he could do, after his lapse in attention.

Temeraire bobbed his head once and pulled the boulder upright with a little effort. It was not terribly heavy, to his mind, but it was bulkier than he had thought it would be, and he wobbled a little and put out a wing for balance as he hefted it in his claws.

The boulder described an impressive parabola through the air when he threw it, grunting slightly with the effort, but in the end, it, too, only struck the invisible wall and rolled back toward him, sending up a brief cloud of dirt and grass as it landed.

"I do not suppose there is very much to observe," he said sourly, "only that a larger rock has much the same effect. Do you know any spells of note?"

"Certainly!" Tazendra said. "If you will stand back. If the spell reflects, I would not wish to hit you."

She considered. "It would not be cowardice if I were to take cover as well."
