Dark. Silence. Nothing.

Nothing…nothing…nothing… except for the cool, dry earth… and the cool, dry air.

A flash.

Then stillness. The expectant pause before the storm breaks. Something, something big, was about to happen.

Rrrooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarr…

The sound was a shock in that place of emptiness. It was a strange noise, like a roar, and yet, not. It was more harmonic, gentle and deep, but it was not a song. It seemed to penetrate the core of the silence, the depths of the darkness, the very heart of that strange landscape. As it went on it seemed to get louder, stronger. Then it started to vibrate.
