Event 1: Gods and Monsters

[letsplayamod]

[Time is a bit difficult to measure in this place. The storms that rage beyond your safe barrier, overtaking the horizon with their shifting lights and shadows, aren't doing it any favors. If you were to ask Athena, she'd say it's been about a week since your arrival. And since then... there's been scant signs of things improving.

Today, you wake up to quiet. No drone of distant winds. Not even birdsong breaches your bedrooms. Like a inhaled breath, the world seems to have paused.

And then, it exhales. The ground under your feet trembles and shakes. Dirt flies. Rocks shower down from the direction of the cliffs.

There, like an open wound stabbed into the earth, was a large crack where there wasn't before, spilling out an oppressive red light. Stranger still, some larger rocks are floating over the opening itself.

...Investigate?]

[ After the initial fumbling, Riful's been doing pretty well for herself! She was the number one, after all, once.

Unfortunately, one particularly forceful strike snaps the practice sword in half, and there she stands, a little girl with no weapon and no shoes, and now a rip in her skirt courtesy of one soldier? ]

Hey...! Please, don't tear at my clothing! That's the only dress I have.

[ Anyway, suddenly what looked like long brown hair is moving of its own accord and changing in appearance, looking hard, upsettingly organic, and wickedly sharp, and moving to impale and slice at every soldier around her, all the while avoiding her comrades. ]

Ah, well... that's a shame.
