A Dark Dream
Tonight the people of Somarium share a dream. It is a vague dream, remembered only in flashes, but the occurrences are enough to frighten even the most jaded of adults out of a deep sleep, hearts pounding and sweat dripping off their brows. Those that could recall a few details would remember the following:
Destruction.
Ice and rumbling and roaring, with feet big enough to crush an automobile. Men, women, and children huddled around woodburning stoves. The tallest skyscraper in Somni's business district tumbling to the ground with an earth-shaking crash. Segments of the main shopping district in shambles. Entire apartment complexes and homes getting wiped off the map.
And, in a final flash, the silhouette of a bleached white beast and the desperate, angry face of a beautiful pale woman with a curtain of black hair in front of a huge, snowy peak - directly where the sink hole and black statue currently stands. The woman calls out a single, sharp, ethereal command:
"GO!"
The dream ends, and upon waking everyone will find that the whole world is completely frozen over. The ice even extends out to the desert, and those who venture out there will find that it goes on for a few miles before it returns to sand.
