Miiam spoke to them all through Ship. The demon turned to face them with a gentle smile and a deep, strong voice.
When the reign of the Sumarann came to a close, it was at the hands of the Black Cloud. Skies that were once clear and blue became dark and stomy. Our king, Ruinnoc, knew that this was an unnatrual storm and called together the strongest warriors of the Sumarann. However...The Dark Cloud was more powerful and sinister than we had suspected. I hung over our lands and struck first with pestilence. Our young, feeble and elderly suffered first. Then it struck with insanity; it caused some of us to become heinous beasts that would serve the Black Cloud, and then...it struck with it's full fury of it's demonic army. Creatures descended from the cloud that even Ruinnoc in all his knowledge had never seen. Our armies fought the demons and our turned bretheren. We had reached a stalemate for a while, until Ruinnoc cast a great spell, that seemed to thwart the power of the cloud. But the damage was done....
Suddenly, Ship's face screwed up and his bottom lip quivered. He ran over to Kilra and hugged her leg, holding in tears.
