Before the squad could continue their passing of pleasantries, a far-off crash rang out from just over the horizon. Following this disturbance was a notable shudder from the earth beneath their feet, the shock causing the remains of a rotted tree to unearth itself and topple onto the dirt path before them, landing with a clattery clamor just feet from their location.
”Suspect,” the largest among them rasped, his single jaundiced eye staring into the distance as the trio stopped short to assess.
“Gotta be Darklings,” Hiro responded, answering the question the three had silently asked themselves seconds prior. “Whatever is causing that must have some extra juice.”
Madotsuki nodded in agreement. “I’d bet.”
As if to affirm their assumption, a similarly troubling though entirely different noise met their collective ears just seconds later. This tone was quite different from the deep, dull boom of some mysterious detonation or the groaning of Mother Earth. Instead, rather, the call came shrill and haunting upon the wind.
Screaming.

Chaos on the horizon, and near at hand. Go investigate, and see what it might be! Everyone has three days, to make one post, of 600 words each. Happy hunting, folks!
