Darkness Falls

Aug 26, 2010 00:57

As the first sliver of moon appears at the top of the night sky, a strange fog rises from the ground. Not only is this fog present in the city and village, but also out in the desert and in the dreams of every person residing in Somarium. It is subtle, and does not affect any dream except for perhaps the small mention of notice.

An eerie song soon follows, and like the fog it infiltrates into the dreams of anyone sleeping. Those who are still awake at this hour will feel as if the voice is rising from the back of their mind. The language is unknown, perhaps native to this world, but it is haunting. Now, no matter what the person is doing, either awake or in sleep, they will stop, mesmerized, as a ghostly figure glides past before their eyes.

Her face, hidden by the long tangles of dark hair and dark hood, slowly turns to give a mere glance. Her lips are unseen, and no voice is heard, but one can tell they are moving.

In a blinding flash, the mysterious woman disappears. A deafening crack follows, as if a large piece of steel snapped right next to the ear. Another small crackle, and everyone awakes to darkness.

All over the city, every light has been extinguished. It takes a few moments before the back-up generators in various hospitals to power up. But everything else remains in an eerie, silent darkness.

Out in the desert, the still half-buried castle remained, the sands slowly filling in every empty crevice. Creatures both large and small slowly start to burrow and slink their way inside, making temporary homes. A strange, low sound, emits from the very center of the ruined structure, rumbling through every living being.

Then once again, everything falls to silence.

[ooc: The signal post for the blackout. As stated in the Moon Cycle post, this will last through the weekend until Monday.

Like the last signal post, this post is an OPEN POST and can be used as an open network post to cut down on spamming.]
