Israfel
“Well, fuck.”
Israfel didn’t even try and stop the expletive from leaving her lips. She didn’t have that much self control. At this point? She really wasn’t even surprised when the volcano to the south decided to fucking erupt. When did a volcano even get there? Did a chunk of land just grow some legs and waltz its happy ass into the Terminus Sea, unnoticed by everyone?
The day had been pretty nice, as far as cold winter days went. Quiet, peaceful, pretty normal if you asked her… Until the ground began to shake and the little critters of the world began to flee in search of a place far safer than where they were currently at.
At first, the Sun Daughter had simply assumed it was a small earthquake. They happened from time to time, right? Especially in Terrastella, the earthquake capital of the world. But the trembling continued, growing in magnitude, seeming to shake the very foundation of the soil and rock beneath her hooves. It was then that she noticed the rising plume of smoke in the distance off of the cliffside, and initially alarmed, she took to the air, Solaris’ soaring overhead to follow That worry lingered only long enough for her to spot others that had gathered along the shore to watch the initial eruption, to watch the angry churning waves of the ocean, to witness the darkness that began to coat the sky with a spewing mass of ash and soot…
Whispers coursed through the gathered equines, but Israfel hardly gave them any thought. Murmurings of ‘the coming end’, of ‘curses from the gods’, and other such bullshit caused her to frown. It was a volcano. They erupted. It’s simply what they did. If they were this upset over a volcano, Israfel would have hated, or loved, to see their reaction to the Veins back in Helovia.
Through narrowed eyes of vermilion the Warden stared out across the churning waves and the rising clouds of black ash and debris, and wondered what this might mean for the rest of them. The sheer force of the eruption itself was powerful and somewhat unsettling, but it was normal, right? This was nature at its finest work. There was no reason to be concerned.
Right?
