The light from
Hysh beat fiercely down on to the sandy beach of Ghyrans coast. It was hot and humid, but the people didn’t
appear to mind as they cooled themselves in the ocean waters. Humans, aleves, and duardin of all ages
shared this piece of paradise playing games, swimming, and sunning themselves
in the hot sun. Not a single mortal had
any cares on their mind.
The peace was
broken when the shout of “Shark” rang out across the beach. The water cleared instantly as the two
protruding fins played across the water.
The beach cleared even quicker when the sharks flew up out of the water
and floated in the air as a pair of aleves clung to their backs. The quite paradise turned into a panicked mob
as more aleves and sea beasts began appearing out of the water coming onto the
beach. The Idoneth had come…
Tidecaster Keshaani
walked up to the beach gently up a cool drink abandoned by its previous owner
as she quickly assessed the sandy dunes.
She sipped it slowly, enjoying the cool feeling and the fruity flavor as
she debated what to do next. The fleeing
people wouldn’t be able to escape if she willed it and she was in no rush to
bring them their doom. The sun was warm
and there were plenty more of the cool drinks to enjoy she thought as she
discarded the emptied cocktail having emptied it without realizing. She really did have a Crazy Beautiful Life and
as she so often had, she decided to simply enjoy it.
Tidecaster
Keshaani took up another drink and finding a cool spot under a canopy nearby to
enjoy the fuzzy feeling the drinks were giving her. Perhaps these people’s souls didn’t need to
be harvested. There was bound to be
plenty of other souls close by anyway and she quite enjoyed the drinks these
people concocted.
Sensing their
general's shift in temperament the other Idoenth similarly discarded their
weapons in favor of cool drinks and fun in the hot sun. As the day wore on the local people who fled
would slowly filter back to the beach sensing the change in the Idoneth and
before long the day's peacefulness returned.
As Hysh began
setting behind the waves later on Tidecaster Keshaani stood up and in a slurred
and melodic speech declared it to be High Tide and for the real party to
commence! Fires lit up across the beach
and all manner of Ghyran sealife brought by the Idoenth were cooked on the
makeshift grills. The local people, to
their credit, let their barrels of tropical cocktails flow freely well into the
night.
