Entries[edit]
It started out as a routine task. An area of the Depths had become of interest to the Asura, and that meant a krewe had to be formed to investigate.
Several members of the krewe were esteemed geomancers, so it was not expected that anything would happen to them.
It was morning when they left the gate and their GOLEMs, and headed towards the area of disturbance, unaware that there could be any problem.
They found the place without much issue, and began readings. Within an hour it was clear that was not the case.
-
The four Asura began to panic as things quickly went from distressing to bad. The chamber began to shake violently as the readings spiked.
They saw rocks move in ways that they shouldn't as half the chamber came down on the group, killing one.
The others desperately checked that the others were still alive and assessed their surroundings.
Despite not being close to a volcano, lava began to pour in between the rocks. The three rushed back, avoiding the firey death with all their might.
-
The lava however obscured the changes occurring the fallen rocks.
They twisted together into horrible forms, the still flowing lava brightly shining through the cracks in their hides. It took only moments for the haze to fade and the creatures to waddle out of the hell storm into view of the cowering Asura.
Together, they roused themselves for the fight of their lives...
-
Viiya rushed to warn the nearest settlement of the coming dangers, chased by a literal tide of destroyers. She managed to reactivate some of the abandoned GOLEMs which protected the pathways, giving the other krewes time enough to get back to the Asura gate and safety.
Using all the power she could muster, she collapsed the roof of the tunnel, buying time for any all survivors of the attack.
Breathless, she stepped through the gate...
-
And into utter chaos. The destroyers managed to break through into the Asura city through many different gates, slaying all that came into their path. She quickly marshaled the other Asura to organize an evacuation to the safest place she could think of - through an old gate which lead to the surface.
Valiently, she shut off most of the other gates before sacrificing herself by destroying the last gate to stop the destroyers following the survivors to the surface.
-
Through her actions, Viiya managed to help the survivors escape to the Tarnished Coast, where they began rebuilding their lives among the ruins of a culture they'd never encountered.
Quickly, krewes were formed to find her, but none returned with any news. In a short ceremony those Asura who had been saved by her actions mourned her loss and moved on.
The effort of rebuilding obscured the history of what happened. The Asura over time forgot about their savior as they dispersed amongst the populace. Her legend lives on only in the few who chose to keep history, and Asuran society moves on to greater and greater heights...
