The light dims around you, wavering. A frigid breeze kicks up, tossing leaves into the air with abandon. From the darkness, a shadow emerges; amorphous at first, it quickly takes the shape of a goat with dark, virulent light burning in the hollows of its eyes. The goat’s jaw gapes open, and from it issues dust and darkness, which runs like ink across the landscape. Flowers instantly wither and die from its touch.
The shadowy skull dissipates and its ichor spreads, the darkness so absolute that it seems to drink in the light around it. Trees topple, plants wither, and all around you, dust and ash swirl. Shadowy hands emerge from the portal, grasping rocks as they heave themselves forward to slither across the landscape like hungering beasts, eager to drown the light.
Something unholy happened here. The once idyllic streets of the town are littered with bodies, torn and ravaged with savage ferocity. Viscera paints the walls, and bloody handprints streak across barred doors and windows—you doubt anyone found refuge from the massacre here.
