Night Comes

As the sun sets on April 8, 2009, most people are heading back to their homes having just finished their day of work. Traffic is a pain and people are aggitated and impatient as usual. Parents are fighting with their children to get them to go to sleep, and trying to sit and relax before climbing into bed themselves.

Awakened are finishing up, or just beginning their studies. Testing the last bit of magic for their spellwork to expand.

As all residents of Sacramento begin to prepare for their evening, a sudden feeling settles over the city. A hush seems to blanket Sacramento and all sound is muted for a breif moment in time.

The dread of something awakening settles into the minds of every living and undead thing in the city. Dogs and cats alike raise their hackles and begin to bark and hiss at some unknown threat. Mortals feel the hush and stillness of impending danger and become quiet and subdued as they try to continue their nightly activities.

Those with the Sybil's Sight hear the creaking of something musty, stale, and dry. Those with the Grim sight suddenly see everyone as a walking corpse. The Pulse of the Living world stutters, alarming Life Mages. Temporal Eddies swirl like dust devils away from something old. The Second Sight shows Spirits inturmoil.

Something has awakened. Something that thirsts for blood.
