Subject: Midnight in escort Author: Simple/Tyrsis [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06/ 1/05 7:58:07pm Wed A hushed whisper of fabric flowed about the school, rising and falling beneath the thunder of drums. Simple did not pay heed, glancing back only once at the small stumble of students that remained in the doorway. Hell would break loose, one way or another it was time for everything to fall. Just as Kyussai had fallen into sleep. Would it be sleep or death they found? Darkness covered her, wrapped around her body and spread outwards in the darkness of night until the entire ground writhed in its curtain. A hush fell, not even drumbeats peircing the groundcloth that now covered Escalvone's streets. The city became deathly still and the light behind her faded, school no longer lit as darkness fell upon it as well. Hours had passed since the drumbeats had begun, a messenger arriving moments after they had. Simple did not trust Tyrsis, did not trust the plans that had been lain before Dashell and his students. Somewhere a child might have been crying, it was swallowed in the darkness and taken away. Wind whispered past, leaving a faint hint of dreambeats through the night before sunrise slowly began to peak. As light rose, darkness faded away like morning fog. Escalvone stood empty. Simple looked up, feilds stretching past her for miles and her own small band of stragglers waking as though from a dream. Their eyes held wonder at where they had found themselves, but each knew the situation. "What will we call ourselves?" A woman looked to Simple, to Kyussai who still lay unconscious at her feet. Simple found herself smiling at a memory. "Ravenglass." A thoughtful pause. "Clan Ravenglass, unless there are other suggestions." Across the world, others were discussing very similair ideas. They took to building their worlds. *** Tyrsis kneeled in the temple, Dragon still standing in stone as it had been left, Damuthca in front of her. Each lord of Escalvone had chosen to remain, sitting in a loose semi-circle behind her. On the table, laying across broken splinters of wood, lay their blades. Silent prayer filled the room. Escalvone would never surrender. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
