EVENT: A Call To Arms - February 4th
As night crept into the city, there was an odd stillness in the air. While the fighting continued, a heaviness had settled in amongst most of the residents in the city. The residents that huddled together and kept one another safe, or sought out those that had been brought to the city, or decided to take up arms and fight for their own city. It hung for an hour, maybe two, before a shrill scream filled the air of the city.
The Serpent appeared.
The long majestic black body that seemed to shimmer with greens, yellows and purples as it moved over the lights forced it's way through the tear in the sky. The body moved along the white branch like structures that shown around it. It reared itss head, a mask settled upon it's face with piercing yellow eyes that everyone in the city could see if they looked to the sky. It opened its jaw and snapped down at the city.
Then there was another cry that filled the air.
As the Serpent's head gained speed to strike at the city, a long streak of silver shot from the Central District. The heat from the beam caused the air to warm. The sound of electricity filled the air to battle against the shrieks of the Serpent. The beam traveled faster than the Serpent could and found its target. It penetrated the mask, going right through its head. The Serpent pulled back and screamed in agony, causing the ground to tremble and the sound of thunder to echo high above the city.
Another shot was fired. This time it hit its body.
The Serpent struck out at the city one more time before meeting the third assault. Wounded and black ooze dripping from its body onto parts of the city, it retreated. Its screams continued to echo through the sky even as it disappeared from sight and slowly, the sky returned to normal. Normal stars appeared where the branch like tendrils once were.
The Army lowered their weapons at the sight of their God retreating.
