| Famine in the Land Their dominion was an older time, before tales of lamps and suns and moons and Elves and Men. They flew above the world uncontested, thousands upon thousands, great dark skeins against the fledgling sky. They screamed and dived and feasted on the duller, slower beasts that crawled below. Endless winter fell from nowhere. The sky turned black. The mountains erupted and the seas caught fire. Only the strongest survived, shivering alone in the cold pits, grubbing at dead earth for whatever they could find. Then He came. And from the first piece of flesh He offered them, they were His. |
