[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3074156, member: 16166"] [sblock=Azot]Taran grinned, perhaps a little evilly. "You are about to see a hell of a lot more..." He raised his hands and his form shimmered and splashed to the ground like the emptying of foul water from a bucket. Some of the drops of the odourous water hovered in the air for a moment before collecting into a small ball. The ball grew, like a bubble. A thin layer of water was its surface, within it was empty, but only for a short time. Buildings began to rise on the inside of its surface, streets appeared, tiny people walked the wilderness that grew. Swiftly the land that was being created was overrun by villages, then towns, then cities, until finally all of the inside of the bubble's surface was one enourmous city, which began to expand into the sky. The city grew until its very streets were choked by the homeless the weary, and the dying. It was Metropolis, Azot looked into the world like a god watching its children. The bubble was fascinating, especially so when Azot saw a small flash of light from one side of it as a small ethereal bridge seemed to pass through the bubble wall effortlessly, gracefully, reaching out, as if it sought others to share its civilization. Later, elsewhere in the city, there was a geyser that spewed forth from a strange neighbourhood that centred around an enourmous black spyre (a cathedral?), its touch slowly killed everyone that remained. The geyser was invisible to all it seemed, though it drew from the surface of the bubble, the very water that protected the city from what lay outside. Whatever started it did not survive to stop it, and a small hole appeared in the surface of the bubble. The city was exposed to what lay outside, the death it brought killed thousands.
