I wake to hear terrifying reports forgive me if they are not fully correct as my mind is still trying to absorb it while I write and am trying to combine pieces from several different tellings. Akassa was camped at Milltown gate when Viviyana heard something from the gate in N'Rolav. Akassa heads over to the other gate. After arriving there they heard whispered echoes of the high scream of a child float in from the desert wind, followed by a deathly demonic laughter. Something cold and dark threaded past both of their faces, black tendrils curled around their eyes before vanishing into a dead building with another chilling laugh. The child's screams then sounded from behind them.. a door slammed from somewhere up the deserted lane, again the laughter draining the sunlight from the sky and the heat from their veins. Beneath their feet begins a very soft, very irregular scratching sound, the scratching became louder, a soft and terrified moaning punctuating between the scrapes which sound like fingernail against dirt, a thick voice wetly whimpers in clear agony, accompanied by a gurgling, bubbling sound. The scratching becomes almost frantic beneath their feet. The ground shifts aside, a freshly decomposing hand breaking free of the surface and grabbing Viviyana by the ankle as the once-terrified guard rose from the dirt and used her as leverage to pull him free of it. The other hand of the slain guard twitched a couple times before moving slowly in a grasping motion that causing the sound of nails on dirt again. Bris hearing the girls were in trouble came in to help, he killed the guard. Laughter bounced off the ruined buildings and mixed with what sounded like the screaming of a small child the mixture echoed from the forest. The ruined mouth of the guards remains fell open, stinking, congealed blood oozing from it onto the ground and mixing with the dirt. The laughter grew until it became a roar that filled the area before fading slowly with the wind. The guard’s grave was then checked in the desert where he was slain and found it to have been disturbed. Synvasti rearranged the grave, Adirolf then said a prayer over it hoping to give the guard some peace at last. Everyone slowly leaves the gate when the Demon Lord Balthazar returned and unleashed the full fury of his powers, instantly turning Viviyana to dust and ash.
