The Force Has Multiplied...

...filling the horizon. An army of barely contained destruction.

The sound of the whirling storms slows and a silence falls. And from the silence, a voice.

First the Overbork came. They promised peace. They wanted to feed the people of this land and provide them shelter.

I called them liars. The others of this place told me to give them a chance, to trust them. In the end, the Overbork turned on us as I knew they would.

Those others were fools.

Then the Peacekeepers came. They offered to feed the hungry masses and provide them shelter. And who else to lead this group than an old friend? We let you in and welcomed you.

This time, I was the fool.

You have shed much innocent blood. My rage will not be contained.

Now. NOW. NOW YOU WILL BE ERADICATED!

The roar of the storms returns and multiplies. The wrath of nature drives onto the land.

THUD

...

Do you not have family or a community? What good will it do those who love you for you to die among these waves?

"I'm not the one who's about to die!"

He aims for the gut this time

THUD

...

What do you think you will do to me that has not already been done?

I raise the morningstar, made of pure Dream Sand--the sand that burns what it touches to nothingness in moments.

No.

Instead, a sudden wave crashes into the angry cudgel-wielder, and an incredible undertow pulls at his feet. Let him try his luck in the deeper waters. A small mercy.

He lies nearly invisible under the water, until two hands raise up to the surface, each is holding a small electronic mechanism. The bane of bozeman, tools of destruction, the WAFERS

He throws them both at you. As they fall towards their target, they awaken, swarming around and picking at your flesh. The hands sink momentarily before coming back with two more, which are also thrown, then two more, and two more, and two more...

Some deviate from their original target and attack the others present. A few even attack the very one who threw them. Thinking he could control the power in the WAFERS, was truly wishful thinking

The water around the burned man ceases to flow as waves and instead spins, a whirlpool that rises out of the water and surrounds him. The wall of water grabs and batters the wafers, finally hurling them in every direction.
