The Hall Shrouded in Death

"So what if it is a deified item? Without the deified one to control it, what can they really do?" a King asked, his voice hard. His body looked very bright. He took his subordinates and a Gana outside the hall.

His godlights tore through the darkness, lighting up the outside of the hall. The Nobles in his employ followed him. They traveled through the dark, wanting to return to their ships.

But before they could make it far, strange arms started to writhe their way out of the ground. They grabbed those that traversed the darkness, and even the Gana.

The King struck with his godlights. He cut down the weird arms, but he was the only one that could protect himself. The Dukes were unable to hold off the grasping arms, and they found themselves getting pulled down into the earth.
