ZeroTube Ceremony IX - Loosing battle

The distant cries of panicked villagers echoed through the fields as they ran desperately toward the gates of the main estate. Dust rose in the air, kicked up by hundreds of feet pounding against the ground in a mad dash for safety. The city's gates loomed tall, but chaos unfolded before them. Men pushed against women, children screamed as they were trampled underfoot, and elders collapsed from exhaustion. Desperation turned the crowd into a sea of wild, frightened beasts.

Duchess Ame arrived, her regal presence towering over the panicked masses. Clad in her dark and red mage armor, her dark hair billowed in the wind. With a single breath, she projected her voice over the frenzy.

"ENOUGH!"

The command rang through the air like thunder, striking through the panic and forcing all to stillness. The sea of people quieted as if an invisible force had gripped their hearts.
