[QUOTE="Old One, post: 2401827, member: 83"] [b][I][color=burlywood][size=4]The Green, Green Fog of Home – Interlude III[/size][/color][/I][/b][I][color=burlywood][size=4][/size] Pale. Translucent. Green. The faintest tinge of shimmering green, like the gossamer veil of the loveliest courtesan, crept across Seluna’s visage, dancing across the Dragon’s Tail range [I]against[/I] a stiffening nor’ westerly wind. It snaked northward, over sad ruins and empty fields. A great, dead metropolis loomed on the horizon, impotent in the wane moonlight. The tendrils paused for a moment, a league or two short of the shattered city and swayed to and fro…sensing, smelling, seeking. It gathered on itself like a building thunderhead - roiling and spasmodic – before cascading down towards an unremarkable arroyo, indistinguishable from the scores that cut the weathered ridge above the stillness of the town. As the leading edge of the cloud rolled over the upper ledge of the steep-sided canyon, the Earth-Mother caught her breath. A silent, yet impossibly loud tearing sound echoed through the very core of reality. Angels and demons caught their collective breath as the great curtain of Time shuddered, shredded and reformed in the barest instant of time. Somewhere in the darkness, a small, seemingly insignificant shadow twisted and turned, reeling in agony. Somehow, riding the momentary rent, it managed to slip its bonds and burst into the cool night air. Hooded yellow eyes blazed momentarily, and then narrowed. Hunger. The gnawing madness of a thousand empty stomachs drove it westward…towards food. A single tear rolled down the man-child’s perfect features, followed by an almost inaudible whisper. “May the Light forgive me if I am wrong.”[/color][/I][color=burlywood][/color] [b][I]To Be Continued…[/I][/b][I][/I] [b]Next: Session 27 (Part Four) – The Green, Green Fog of Home[/b] ~ PS - Last of the funky stuff...real update pending ;)!
