Dark Before the Dawn

[Snypiuer]

Clouds fill the sky as the wind begins to blow stronger.

 

Every Pennite within the Keep of the Pen is Mightier than the Sword can feel the anticipation building as little orange men with green hair and wearing white overalls stand upon every corner of every street of the Keep and ring bells.

 

Above all this, the howling wind and clanging bells, every Pennite can still hear a maniacal laughter from high above.

 

Upon the highest spire within the Keep stands a figure wearing a purple suit with a purple top hat. As everyone looks up at him, the tails of his unbuttoned purple coat flapping wildly in the wind, he looks down upon them. Even from this distance, the madness can be seen in his eyes.

 

For a moment, a brief moment, there is complete and utter silence as he softly speaks (yet all can hear him), "He comes upon the morrow."

 

Immediately, the wind and clanging begins anew with even greater fury - with a maniacal laughter above it all.
