Silence.
Pure, sweet silence.
And then the sound of hoofbeats, the rise of dust in the wake of strong hooves pounding the dry earth. An earth that had been empty for so long now awakened by a random act of fate. A land abandoned by all for many a year now rising back to life in a matter of moments: grass sprouts pushed up from the earth, buds appeared on the branches of what had appeared to be long-dead trees, trickles of water began to flow down once deserted river-beds. The looming clouds on the horizon forcasted rain -- something the land had not seen in many months -- in the coming future, promising the opportunity for a new beginning.
With this promise came the fog, swirling in thick clouds around rocks, giving depth to empty river-beds, offering disguise to the water as it began to flood the earth. Rain poured, enough to cause flash floods, the storm went on for days. But it was not destruction wreaked on the place, it was new life, causing green to become the predominant color. It was like some unnatural force had beguiled nature into creation. The gods, maybe?
Amongst this change were two fine specimens of the equine breed: a vivid blue stallion accompanied by what appeared to be a goddess of a pure white dun. The duo was the first to enter Ominous in so long, what had sparked the gods favor in recreation of the land, they don't know, but finally their journey was over.
A Romeo and Juliet story created the land.
Welcome to Ominous.
