[SWP] ACT I: The Trembling of a Distant Land

[Maerys]

It was without warning when the ground under-hoof began vibrating, the feeling unnerving and somehow cynical in its movement. Maerys moved towards the shore when her mauve eyes caught sight of quite the tragedy. The cold winter air was loud, filled with a noise that tried desperately to burst eardrums. The heavens, so azure just seconds ago, grew shaded and quickly darkened as the beast of a volcano belted its insides into the atmosphere. All that could be seen through the veil of smoke and heat on that small island in the distance was thick, hot lava trickling like blood from a wound.  Her mind began twirling as she passionately tried convincing herself this was some sort of illusion, a piece of fictional work that was brought to her in the form of a nightmare. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. But alas, as the air further heated and the storm that fell from the sky was pebbles, not drizzle, there was no refuting it. Complete darkness prevailed as vapors expanded and the heaven grew stricken, any sign of daylight dimmed from view. The zephyr surged to push the oceans into peaks of destruction and wrath, driving them to crash against the coast like an enraged steed in combat.  Maerys hears the murmurs, all troubled about the distant volcano. She'd seen graver than a volcano, but she wasn't convinced she'd seen something more critical than a volcanic monster. "I- I- understand not what is happening.." Her mumble was bothered, a whisper of fear among the screaming of the world around her. Her succinct immigrant tongue would go unnoticed in the chaos around her. The picture before her did not halt but rather it poured gasoline onto the spark of dread that bloomed in her belly. Though her lip quivered and her nostrils shuddered, she felt a sense of duty and did not flee from the scene. Resolutely she persisted, expecting the absolute worse that her thought could even imagine. Furrowing her brow, she watched attentively, prepared to battle though she knew she was savagely unprepared and ineffectual for the responsibility. A juvenile dam was no threat to a lurking, hulking monster. That didn't matter to her, however, because when the time came to fight she would be among the first to enlist herself. wherever life plants you,  bloom with grace
