Hungry Sands

More darkness. Is this all the Disk had? Dasque had no time. The black sands lifted into the sky swirling around to consume her. She muttered words of strength to herself as the Susserus came closer and closer. It passed her on either side, blocking her retreat. The screaming forced Dasque onto her knees.

Then she spoke. "Rise." From beneath the earth a tower burst from the ground, ascending into the sky. Her inner light broke free of the black grains above her until she was high above.

Minor Act: Create City of Town: Dasque has risen a single tower from the ground to get herself above the Sussurus. It is only a temporary measure as the winds can reach her, though it will be much more difficult.


Her hands clasped ont the side, and with but another thought,, a few forms began t pull free from the tower, creatures made of stone, hoisted aloft by wings of light, each carrying a spear in its hands. The three guardians ascended up to Dasque's level to guard her against the sands.

Minor Act: Create lesser servants: Dasque has created three guardians to help fend off the attacks. They are of stone, not flesh, which may help make them immune to some of the taint of the sands... maybe.


From her own hand materialized a a golden spear, shimmering brilliantly. It had an inner glow all its own, though a mere shadow of the strand of True Light.

Minor Act: Create a golden spear. This spear is not inherantly magical, and is not an artifact. It is an well-crafted spear that has a glow to it.


She tied the strand to the end of the spear. She gasped for air. She could feel the brightness within her fade as she used so much power at once. With one last act, she lifted her spear to the sky, and sent off a light to illuminate the sky, to call out to anyone who was nearby for help, a light that could be seen a long ways away.

And then she waited. Dasque could only pray that she could last long enough for someone to help, or to find some way to defeat the monster, against all odds.
