Silent Sundering

April 27, 2022 0
The peaceful tranquility of the early evening festivities was shattered by the sound of stone crumbling. It was not loud a loud sound after the first initial crack, instead, it was a soft whispering that gained velocity, as if sand was shifting suddenly, and a vast sea of hissing ensued. 


All eyes turned to the great statue that overlooked the market corridor, staring in mute fascination as the gray stone slothed off the elegantly winged form in rivulets. The statue's eyes flickered as if it was lost in a dream, and perhaps it was. Maybe the figure they all took for granted as a long-lost artist's vision was only a creature slumbering, awaiting to awaken to a signal that only they could hear. Tick, tick, tick, the sands of time fell from the awaking creature as the residents of the majestic Mythspire Ridge stood in mute confusion, unknowing what would be unleashed upon their peaceful existence.
