Plot Time!
Remember that vision Nathan saw a few days ago...? It's all becoming clear... (and it's quite long. This is Mei's brain at 5am. Omg why is it 5am?)

As the newspaper article noted, a fight broke out between two students on the quad. If your character is not listed as a relationship here, feel free to have them know the two students. We couldn't include everyone in the direct plot, so if you're not in it, your character probably wasn't present during the fight, sorry! But don't worry! We'll have plenty of plots in the future!

Backstory:

Sully and Amelia had been flirting with each other for the past month. It was a very strange and unexpected, but they seemed to be happy with each other. Amelia had been helping Sully get over the loss of his aunt and uncle who were caught in the Iquitos bombing, and friends and acquaintances were expecting the two to become an official pairing any day now...

However, there was a strain in their relationship. Amelia was very supportive of the unity of Therian and Faie, and Sully hated Faie (and Leon... but who doesn't dislike Leon?) At first, they would be caught in daily heated debates on the quad, but always somehow seemed to make up (eventually.) Soon, the two simply decided to let the topic go; it was easier to pretend it didn't exist than to argue about it endlessly. (Amelia's friendship with a certain Viitoria Dumont, however, was something that Sully simply did not agree with. And he showed his dislike for that relationship by taunting, mouthing off to, and insulting Viitoria every chance he got. Which resulted him in many detentions.)

A few days prior to the fight, Amelia had bumped into Oliver in the halls and managed to strike up a conversation with him. He'd been doing a bit of flirting with her off and on ever since, which Sully did not like. It isn't a very big secret that Amelia had a very long crush on Oliver during her first few years at Idris...

What went down:

Amelia and Sully were having what seemed like a nice, peaceful dinner on the quad Friday afternoon. Suddenly, things turned ugly. Those around at the time probably heard Sully raise his voice on the issue of how Viitoria Dumont is a vindictive bitch along with several other insults thrown at Faie in general. Rumors circulating will also state that before this outburst, the two were overheard discussing a certain Oliver Reilly; but whether or not that piece of information is true is uncertain.

A very loud debate soon begins in the middle of the quad. The next thing that happens will vary depending on which version of the story you've heard: some students will tell you that Amelia began to spark out of frustration and an intense wave of electricity hit Sullivan. Other students will say that Sullivan acted out of pure rage and lunged at Amelia. Either way, soon, the verbal debate was turned into a physical fight.

Kaevan was walking close by when the fight occurred and tried to stop it. However, being an elephant Therian, Sullivan's strength overpowered Kaevan and the boy was thrown against a tree. Sullivan's friend Dakota along with Fionan, a friend of Amelia's, also stepped into the fight. At this point, a very frightened and injured Amelia sent off a surge of electricity strong enough that it knocked out half of the power in the academy. The only reason it didn't manage to knock out the entire academy was because Rocky managed to absorb some of the shock with his earth mage powers. However, he was not quick enough to absorb the second wave, which directly hit Sullivan who, in that same moment, had lunged at Amelia.

Teachers stepped in at this point and separated the students. Dakota, Fionan, Kaevan, Amelia, and Sullivan were all sent to the hospital. Fionan suffered serious injuries as well and was sent to the same hospital; he will eventually be sent home. Dakota had some fairly serious injuries but she were deemed treatable with a few days spent in the hospital. Kaevan had some more minor injuries and would be fine after two days in the hospital. Amelia and Sullivan, however, received very serious injuries, as most of their attacks had been toward each other. Amelia suffered serious head trauma while Sullivan had several severe burns. Both were sent to a hospital in London.

The tl;dr? Read the newspaper article. Also, the power went out at half of Idris Academy (mostly dorms) around 5:30pm on Friday and didn't come back up until 8pm. The newspaper article came out Saturday morning, but I'm sure it was the talk of the school well before then. Amelia and Sullivan didn't leave for the London hospital until Saturday morning, though.

Feel free to pose questions here.

EDIT: Just a note, the mods decided to replace the NPC Faie with Fionan, who was seriously injured in the fight and sent to the hospital, and eventually home.
