* SUNSHINE STORY !

Very little remained of the city two hours in. What was destroyed was consumed by the voice, NPCs and wildlife torn away by the wind to become one with the hole. All that remained on the ground, feet planted firmly despite it all, were the outsiders. Bodies alight with a radiant glow, they seemed otherwise unaffected by the destruction all around them. 

TAKE THIS… BLESSING… THERE IS… AN EVIL…                  DEFEAT… IT MUST BE… DEFEATED…                              IN ONE HOUR… PREPARE TO DEFEND                                               …LAST LINE OF DEFENSE…

The voice echoed in the minds of everyone still present even as the city center, the last standing bastion, threatened to be consumed by the forces that had uprooted the rest. The surrounding area was little more than a barren wasteland now. All of those remaining were teleported by this voice to the center, around the hole. Depending on the listener the voice sounded different. It was familiar. The voice of the most important person to them. It sought to bring reassurance.

IT HAS… ARRIVED… FIGHT… CHAMPIONS…

And from the hole a pair of eyes did glow. They were almost comedic in design, although eerily vacant. The power they exuded could not go unnoticed nor disregarded. It was an existence that surpassed even the strongest, most broken powers in Spirale.

It was becoming clear that it was not wind being stirred, but rather the hole itself was a vacuum. Strongest on the island outskirts, sea water began to lift from the ocean and swirl towards the hole’s center as the intensity of the storm increased. From the edges of the island trees were torn, building remnants sucked into the sky.

And yet the people remained glued to the ground, a subtle and reassuring light emanating from within each outsider. The NPCs weren’t so lucky. 

This was no eclipse. The circle of fire hung high in the sky despite the sun having set and the moon continuing its usual course. The winds picked up suddenly as the circle moved slowly to cover the hole in the city’s center directly. The city had fallen into utter silence as power flickered out, leaving only cellphones to communicate with one another. 

But it wasn’t quiet for long. As if to provide ambiance a ghastly wailing began to sound, crying out from the circle itself. Lightning crackled to the city from its center, laying waste to a few of the buildings below. 

I’m finding it difficult to find memes for nonverbal characters ( be they mute, or just not fond of talking ) so I thought I’d make a few!
