Awakening

Bregor returned that evening to the nest, only to find it ransacked and destroyed by creatures he did not understand. He knew what they were looking for - always, they searched for the shiny metal. But this time, they had gone too far.

He searched for his precious - the one thing he held above all else - the hatchling egg. He tore through the nest until he reached it, and found it - what was left of it.

His initial reaction surprised him - everything inside him went cold. He felt the blood coursing through his body. Every pulse sent a palpable shiver. He knew what this meant. There was no turning back now.

Soon, he found the center of the emotion. The cold. That implacable malice in the heart of all his brethren. That long forgotten fire that dwelt in his soul - it had found a reason. It had found a victim.

Bregor stood tall. His eyes burnt as he realized what he would do next. As he realized that his victims would not even begin to understand what they had done.

Man had seen his last sunrise.

Bregor, the Maya of old, now fallen to earth to redeem his soul. Bregor, the Sudra, unfurled his wings, and set forth into the darkening night.
