[ She lowers her eyes, looking at nothing at all for a moment as she recalls it, ]

As the sun set behind the smoke... Godking Dreus would come out onto the steps of his palace and overlook his land. As the sun went down a great phoenix of fire would rise up from him and shoot out across the land, casting shadows in every direction.

[ Almost a beautiful image, a great burning bird taking off across the skyline, glittering against the sick haze of the sunset through a veil of perpetual ash and smog. ]

The power of his light gives shadows life. His sons. They roam the night and feast on what remains of mankind.

[ Though she is calm on the outside, the memory is one of utter fear, of never sleeping, of blood glistening in the darkness, the wet sounds of something inhuman chewing its way through sinew and bone. Of running. Of screaming. ]
