Hira, the walled city of the Plains.
The people of the Plains were prosperous, and as such their city flourished. It grew towers instead of trees, and surrounded its self with a great wall to defend against neighbouring tribes.
Hira's wealth and splendour shone over the plain, acting as a beckon of hope, drawing people to it.
They came.
And with them came the rats.
Spreading pestilence and disease, encouraged by those the people sent to eradicate them. Fully capable of eating the plains people out of house and home.
Which is exactly what they did.
Thus Hira fell to the gluttony of the rats.

I'm not very happy with this one, but I need to finish this set before I start any other stories. I really wasn't in the right mood to be writing this, and that became really obvious when I realized I was trying to describe the towers as towering. Sad, isn't it? So I apologise that this chapter isn't up to scratch.
