Zara Stormblade forced to pay 1,000 Sera in damages
In a bizarre turn of events this morning, local goblin girl Zara Stormblade was fined 1,000 for reportedly shattering a public fountain in central Zephyr. The incident, which occurred around 8:42 AM, drew attention from nearby mingan-in and tourists alike, who described it as “an unexpected splash zone.”
According to witnesses, Zara had been skipping near the Fountain of Harmony when she accidentally tripped and fell directly into the structure face first, breaking off one of its intricate marble petals and cracking the base. Officials believe her impact disrupted the internal mechanism that recirculates the water.
Despite her usually playful and harmless demeanor, Zara’s mishap caused temporary closure of the area, leading to frustrations among commuters and local shopkeepers. “She didn’t mean to do it,” said one florist. “But it’s going to take time and coin to fix that kind of art.”
Zara, who was not injured in the fall, issued a soft-spoken apology on the scene. “Me sowwy… didn’t mean break water thing…” she mumbled, adjusting her glasses with teary eyes. Zephyrean law enforcers were sympathetic but confirmed that due to the structural damage, she would still be held responsible for the cost.
The total amount of 1,000 will reportedly go toward repair materials, artisan fees, and restoration magic. Zara has agreed to pay the fine in monthly installments, starting next moon cycle.
While the incident has since become a trending topic on SeraBook and ZephyrLeak, many residents have voiced their support for Zara, with some even offering to help her raise funds.
