The sky grows dark as sunset turns to night. Yet, the mountains glow tonight. It almost burns without a fire, without a lamp. The wind turns cold on this change of the seasons. Mabon has begun, and something comes this way from the far away lands. Music rides on the wind sending a rather sinister shiver through the air.
Iris flies into Requiem City followed by the four leaders of the Guilds. Her face is looking around as she counts underneath her breath at each of you. Your leaders dragged you to the center a soon as the Adaption Guild saw the lights coming across the mountain tops. No one really knew what was going on, but they knew that the region would be safer in large numbers. The Darkness has arrived.
"Is every one here?" Esperanza looks around her hands cupping each other. Her Guild is tinier in numbers than the other three guilds, but not one member has faltered in standing their ground. They are looking towards the mountains as the lights grow and the music becomes louder. Their Suraimus stand behind them well protected by their chosen partners.
The half-Minotaur leader walks towards Iris, "We got this goddess. If there is one thing every guild agrees on, it's that the Darkness won't get your children... and if it does we'll find a way to take them back."
"You going to make up a plan for that, or do what needs to be done?"'
"A plan is what needs to be done, Zane," Atticus replies sternly.
The goblin laughs, "No, what needs to be done is go head first at keep that son-
"That's enough!" Aeris raises her voice her eyes glinting. "Look arguing about this does no good to what is going on. First off we don't even know what is going on. Second of we don't even now what this music and light mixture mountain gathering is."
"Well, Let me shine some, light, on the subject," The music grows and surrounds the group. Iris flies higher and is met by a creature wearing yellow fabric that continuously looks like it is tearing, but never runs out of fabric. "Hello, Sister."
"Hello, Brother...."
"I bring a gift... see, as even I can bring some, light to the world. So for one month I will bring my freak show of powerful Suraimus to your side of the mountains. Your little human pets can even have a few to try to 'heal'. Though we both know I wish to make the Suraimus the strength they truly are... instead of being these flesh being's slaves," The Suraimu's eyes glint as the two siblings circle each other in the air. Iris gives a loud battle cry before throwing her horn into her sibling. He laughs and teleports behind her, she slows down turning back around. She glows bright as a beam of rainbow light shoos towards the yellow flowing fabric being. A black see-through shield surrounds the Darkness and grows until it twists into smoke in the shape of a chain and grabs Iris's wings. She screams out, but her eyes glimmer with anger. "You are weak, little sister. Now it's my turn to be on the stage."
The Darkness brings the smoke chain close and encases Iris in a cage made of the black smoke. "Bring me Toffee Apples, and I will give you the Corrupted Suraimus I have blessed, and maybe then I will bring Iris back to your side. But for now welcome to my Twisted Circus." And like that he is gone, leaving behind one red balloon in his wake.
