I awake, with my hands on my staff, having taken a short rest investigating the people of malgalod. Something is amiss, something far greater than the closed-up doors of each of their houses and palaces.
I close my eyes, and let my spirit wander, to the place it needs to be. At the foot of a dark, barren ruin, is where my spirit, and in time, my body arrives. I take a step forward, to be held in a cold embrace. Permeating through my bones, the air reeks of death, of darkness.
A creature steps up, tiny, weak, and almost playfully impish- but with eyes radiating depthless darkness. Albeit its frailty, can sense it be not a spawn of nature, but rather one of foul sources.
With a spell at hand, I raise my staff to send the creature back to dust. As the flames rise to engulf it, a pattern lights up from the ground, an abysmal black that obscures the creature that stands upon it.
A star, a six-pointed one at that.
I take a step back, and observe, as my flames wither, and the creature fades back into the darkness, safe and unharmed. While seemingly powerless, but there must be more where that came from - and with something we know not about.
Prepare for onslaught, friends. Never underestimate the small.
