midday of a war to come.

#72: midday of a war to come. 

There was nothing left of Lombrass Manor.

Only a crumbling ruin remained, a ghostly reminder that a lord of Sidralis had once ruled from atop that hill. Down below in Aerissia, the mood was subdued, the streets still lined with leftover decorations from Firelight that none had the energy to remove.

At first, citizens had thought the great blaze on the hill was a sign from the heavens—a message from the Great Angel, proving Their existence, fighting back against the scourge of the Deep. It was only when they heard the screams, and saw the flashes of power clashing, and when the inferno tore apart the sky that they realized something far beyond their mortal understanding had taken place.
