<div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 36pt;"><strong>Year 1001 of the Age of the Light</strong></span></div><br/>The Winter Solstice... the day when the least light reaches the world, the time when night is the longest all year. This is the day when every year, the benevolent goddess of light, Lux appears before the people, shining her warm, loving light over them, letting them behold her divine being while she reverses the advance of darkness and lets daytime reclaim more and more time for the next half year. While the shadow is never driven away completely, the sunmaiden has kept it at bay and the world was in balance, peace reigned for a millennium now.<br/>Today she was to appear again over the grand cathedral of Latun, and while the clergy would sing her praise, she would shine her radiance over the world.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff345/darkandbitten/Goddess_of_Fire_by_TomBebop.jpg)</div>When the sun finally reached its zenith, the ceremony began, and the 70 acolytes accompanied by 7 priests started singing the hymn calling to the goddess. Everyone has seen it happen before – the sky would be filled with bright light, like the sun was growing enormously huge, and from it would emerge the unspeakable, beautiful form of the radiant lady, clad in nothing but light and a gentle smile, her hair a wild mane of fire like the crown of the sun.<br/>This year however, something else happened. As if from nowhere, the moon appeared from beyond the few clouds on the sky and started eclipsing the sun, choking the light from it, like some great beast was consuming the very radiance the star shined upon the world, robbing the people of its warmth. The singing stopped and sounds of confusion rose, not just across the courtyard of the cathedral, but across the entire city. A solar eclipse was not an unknown phenomenon, but nobody fortold one for this day, and a full eclipse was unheard of so far!<br/>When the moon finally blocked the sun completely, its edges outlined by the rays it stole from the world, the unthinkable happened. As expected, Lux appeared, but not quite in the manner her worshippers were used to, nor in her glorious state!<br/>With a sound that resembled a death rattle, a last breath in a dry throat, a final whisper of a dying man, a great wind swept across the penumbra covered city, stirring up dust and making people cover their eyes. The eclipse seeming poured from the sky, in a slimy substance of mixed light and darkness, that shifted and wobbled disturbingly, taking a gigantic amoebic shape over the city. Then, with a sickening sound, the blackness took a solid shape as it withdrew from the bright spots and lines, revealing the goddess... utterly defeated and helpless in its grasp.<br/><br/>The sight was unbearable. Some people screamed and went mad, others just collapsed, and there were countless frozen in place, paralyzed in sheer terror, not mustering enough strength to scream or even take a breath for a long while. The towering monstrosity, composed out of solid darkness, Tenebrax the dark one, the consumer, master of all things sinister and evil... held Lux at his mercy, half a dozen black tentackles coiled around the divinely beautiful form of the goddess, suspending her in the air, in the skies above Latun, her arms and legs restrained and forced apart, her head hanging in shame. What appendages weren't restraining her, not that she had strength left to struggle at this point, were wiggling sickeningly across the perfect body of the higher being, lewdly caressing and teasing the searing, red-hot flesh of the sunmaiden. One of the tentacles wormed itself against the goddess's' womanhood, parting the petals under the patch of flame that burned where a woman's hair would have covered her sex. With one more push, the organ thrust into her channel, causing Lux to throw her head back, her hair made out of flames drawing an arc in the dimmed sky while her lips parted in a mute scream. The god of darkness crowned itself king of rape as he claimed his ultimate prize, beginning to take whatever pleasure he could from his conquered foe, causing the goddess to sway and rock in the air, her breasts bouncing with every invading thrust he subjected her to.<br/><br/>Utter panic broke loose, everywhere as the scene finally reached everyone. The protector of the world was being raped, claimed by her greatest foe, left defeated, powerless and ultimately humiliated as she was subjected to the stares of her worshippers, the most loyal, devout among them. Tenebrax succeeded not only in defeating and violating the radiant lady, but also breaking the minds of her followers. It wasn't a minute after the start of the abhorrent scene, when monsters started to swarm the city. Fiends, undead, shadow-creatures and all sorts of horrors poured forth from inky portals and shadowy pools of darkness, slaughtering anyone who came in their sights. The priests and acolytes were slaughtered, raped, consumed even the knights trying to fend off the monsters were murdered and eaten all too quickly by the seemingly endless tide!<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130306051818/tesfanon/images/e/ec/Kek_The_God_of_Darkness,_Lies,_and_Murder.jpg)</div><br/><hr/><br/>Alisia was several blocks away, playing for a party in a small hill mansion for an old noble and his guests when the ceremony began. Her music stopped and the celebration quieted when the ritual began and the chorus rose from the cathedral in the center of the city. The joy and anticipation died quickly though as everything went to hell at the abominable, blasphemous sight that unfolded, screams of terror and madness rising from all sides! As monsters started pouring from every shadow and the streets fell into chaos, the young bard was caught in the middle of it all! People around her were running, pushing and trampling another to get into what they believed was safety in their rooms or attic, or cellar.<br/>Alisia was left herself in the backyard with a few remaining musicians, and terrified guests that were frozen in place by terror! Broken bodies the monsters victims were flung across the air from somewhere, thrown by some inhumanly powerful force. Shadowy tendrils slithered and bit into the corpses and they jerked violently, neck and limbs turning in impossible angles as they slowly rose again as undead servants of darkness...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Make a charisma save vs horror at the sight of Tenebrax and the goddess being defeated!
