Convergence

Convergence is the first story serial in DarStalker719's Prelude trilogy. It is to be succeeded by Continum, and marks the beginning of Makuta Saakhral's attempts to conquer the continent of Onuuss.

Prologue
''The coast of Onuuss was quiet, with only the singing of the Rahi insects and the lapping of the waves against the shore breaking the silence. Moonlight bathed the sands in a pale light. The drone of the insects quieted as the call of a solitary Brakkas monkey echoed through the night. The insects resumed their calls, filling the night with a quiet background.'' ''The quiet rhythm of the beach continued, its constant noise blending into a single hum that steadily grew in volume until the insects themselves hid from the noise. A flight of birds lifted off from the jungle beyond the beach, and the Brakkas monkey hid beneath the canopy, its small body quivering with fear. ''

''A shadow slipped over the waves, obscuring the moonlight, sliding towards the beach like a ghost. The shadow drifted onto the beach, before touching down of the beach, the maniacal humming ceasing, and the beach quiet once more. ''

''A single, tentative buzz begins, as the beach’s calm returns. The waves soothing sound slips over the coast, the area returning to calm. The hiss of hydraulics shatters the peace, as a panel slid down from the side of the mass of the shadow, cutting through the noise of the night, leaving a gateway of pale light in the flank of the shadow. ''

''Several hunched figures rushed from the shadow onto the beach, each bearing a staff and marked by spines rising from their backs. The creatures glanced around the beach before standing to attention around the doorway into the depths of the shadow. ''

''A tall, slender being strode out of the doorway,and stops between the sentinels. Her eyes burned a deep red as she surveys the coastline.''

''”Tomorrow we will slaughter our enemies, paint the ground with their blood,” she hisses, her eyes fixed on the horizon and her wings shifting restlessly. “But that will all come in good time…”''

“Tonight, though…”

“Tonight, let the hunt begin!”

''She stood aside and lets the Rahkshi rush past her into the jungle. By dawn, her blades would taste flesh. Tomorrow, her prey would be nothing but meat for the Kavinika.''

Trivia

 * Throughout writing Convergence, DarkStalker719 struggled with tenses, as he is prone to lapsing into the present tense
 * Convergence is DarkStalker719's first attempt at a large-scale writing project on a computer. Due to this fact, and a perfectionist nature, DarkStalker719 struggles to actually write anything, as opposed to going back and modifying previous work
