The black cloud covered the tip of Hades mountain. It's noxious fumes burned like acid through everything but the rocks that made up the mountain itself. No living thing could stand to breath it without dying instantly, and yet something moved. Writhing like a snake coiling up to the tip over looking the land of Nephika. The cloud grew in its wake undulating and reacting like as if the cloud itself were alive.
"It's almost time great one. The Vetteres are nearly through to the core. Soon we will be able to spread our arms and swallow up this world." The voice hissed and its red eyes peered into the cloud.
The snake-like creature was longer than the oldest dragon and had six sets of legs that held up its enormous body. But even this colossal thing shook with fear as the cloud rumbled loudly and lightning hit the ground.
"I feel a force growing in strength..coming to stop us." The voice was like thunder itself had taken form and it echoed across the plains around which no one dare tread.
The snake hissed its eyes glowing brightly in the blackness of the cloud. "Where is this force so that I may destroy it before it grows enough to hinder our efforts?"
The entire mountain shook, loose rocks crashed to the bottom of it smashing into tiny pieces. "On the other side of the world I can feel the child grow. His strength is beginning to awaken. Sanguine is guiding him..I can feel his presence there as well. Make haste servant, and destroy the child before it grows much more."
