Then the rain stopped....
The storm had given some of the chosen the chance to show what they were made of. It had also brought out some unlikely heroes as well. Some of the locals of die Festung and New Troy had stepped up to help their fellow man during the rain of creatures. There were those in die Festung that had been inspired by Captain America and there were those who had simply wanted to help their neighbors and their friends and the remainder of the human race.
There were deaths as well. Some of the snakes and other creatures that had fallen had been particularly venomous and had managed to claim lives within seconds of delivering a bite. There were those who had been trapped outside in the wilds and hadn’t managed to take shelter. But thanks to the efforts of the heroes (both superhuman and human) who had stepped forward, the majority of people had survived.
When the sun returned and the rain came to a sudden halt, many were still recovering in the hospitals of both cities. Many more went to work immediately on the clean-up.
With the immediate danger passed, whispers began about what the storm might mean. Stories of omens were traded, tales of the previous cataclysm were recounted-sometimes for the first time. The survivors were drawn closer together than before with this new reminder that the apocalypse was well underway.
The people that remained in the world were stronger than they looked. While they might seem downtrodden at times, they were all survivors in many ways. They would continue to survive until all possibility of survival was wiped out.
