The village was paradise as some would call it, the weather remained well, monsters had been driven from this part of the country long ago, and they lived under Halteese rule, annulling them from having to fear the Grandal Empire, yet something stirred in the evening sky, like a growing darkness, none felt it, at first. The girl continued comforting her baby brother, her small stature seeming completely at ease, with nothing to worry about.
Watching the village with a blood red gaze of rage, its teeth jagged and sharp, its scaly body rife with muscle, it held its battle axe low, the lizardman stood at the end of the field, waiting. Above in the clouds, watching the village too with crimson eyes of hate, a massive skytyrant drifted slowly, its horns long, its armored body lifted easily by the enormous wings, atop its back rode a lizardman, its caretaker and rider. It turned slowly at first, then began to dive, directly toward the village, it roared loudly, its jaws lined with bone crushing teeth, its nose horn long and serrated, its primary weapon.
The young girl still sat, playing with her brother, when a roar echoed through the village from above, she instantly looked up, seeing a huge ravenous beast baring down on her, she heard a woman scream out as hundreds of monsters came flooding over the field toward the village. The men working in the field began to flee, trying to grab their weapons still in their lodges, the lizardmen easily outrunning them, they slaughtered most of them before they could even reenter the village.
The girl stood up, her little brother beginning to cry, behind her the skytyrant crashed into her lodge, sending wooden debris over her, slivers piercing her soft face, she fell back, still clutching the crying baby. She heard her mother screaming as the skytyrant tore through the lodge, its dark gaze searching, behind it she saw her mother writhing on the ground, her back broken, her ribs jutted from her belly, blood pouring over their destroyed floor, she still held a spoon she was using to cook their meal.
The girl began to scream, she got to her feet, horrified at the sight of her mother, she took no notice of the skytyrant locking on to her, she tried to run to her mother's side when the skytyrant lunged forward, its mouth agape, it bit down onto the girls small legs, crushing them with a loud crack. She began to scream in horrible brutal agony as the skytyrant lifted her body into the air, she dropped the baby when the skytyrant began to swallow her alive, she could still be heard screaming inside its belly as its stomach acid began to seer through her soft flesh.
The baby continued to cry, as the village was torn apart, hungry lizardmen cutting down the villagers then beginning to eat their body's, some of the villagers still breathing, still screaming. Nightmare walked through the carnage slowly, watching the glorious sight of the lizardman horde, killing anything that was alive, four dogs chained to a post barked and snarled then began to yelp as a lizardman hacked them to pieces, cows being torn to shreds by the skytyrants as more and more filled the sky. Nightmare stopped, hearing the sound of a baby crying at his feet, he looked down, seeing the little brother of the young girl, the baby's face red, his little eyes shut, filled with tears.
The mother still lay in the destroyed house, her broken body racked with numbing pain, she could hear her beloved baby crying, the sounds of roars and screaming people all around, suddenly her baby's cry became a brutal scream as its voice began to muffle, she looked out through a crevasse, she watched as a huge knight with a massive sword stepped down onto something lying on the ground, the horrifying realization of her baby being crushed by an armored foot caused her a heart attack, she stiffened as new pain shot through her arms and chest, she began to shake.
Nightmare walked forth again, blood covering his right armored boot, he could feel the pain and anguish of the village, their souls still drifting about, he stabbed his sword into the ground, raising his giant grotesque arm over his head, he began to draw them in, consuming the souls of the dead, their emotional trauma still feeling theirs souls...it was breathtaking...
