The air was foul. The land torn apart as if claws had raked through it. There was a feeling to one's skin, as if the latent magic in the air were threatening to explode in a violent cacophony of destruction. Few dared to brave the streets of the city. Its name didn't matter anymore, the residents were long gone, replaced by the sounds of... something, hiding behind the echoes of city life that should've been there. Had been there, less than an hour ago.
Broken laughter rang down one alleyway, a madwoman cackling at shadows. Down another the wail of a babe, disjointed from any source. This city had died. Was dying. Was about to die. This city was about to be born.
Brianna grunted as she stood, grimy water from the street dripping from her hair where she had landed. Her stomach turned and she felt her lunch fight to be released, only barely being choked back by the swordsman. One moment she had been tailing a guard for some work, and now she was... here. The street looked the same, but there was a wrongness to everything.
Adding to that, even her body felt strange, like it was simultaneously both too long and too short in every dimension.
What the hell was going on?
