The war between the land and the sea..
A while, back in the time, before the Matsupa arrived, there had been those, who were searching for hidden cities, structures below the main ocean areas.
Where the rivers, ran into the main estuary, that divided into 4 main tributaries, which ended up in the ocean.
Sji un. For a long time, it had been known, there were, such places to be found.
Submerged columns, stone walkways and the estuary, had revealed at one time, when the water levels had dropped, a vast number, of mysterious objects, mostly stone, but some were crystalline in form.
Raising some, of them, had been a major task, but slow and steady, they managed, to bring some, to the main museum.. a place, that was kept secret, as some of the finds, had been a veritable treasure trove?
Drax ornamentation, costume jewelry and, some gemstones of an unknown variety? Laser cannons, used a variation of some of those crystals. Silica based compounds and Diarite, a form of granite that was pitch black in form and weighed as we would know it TONNES!
Stopping, the invaders, from taking the Drax, was of course of immediate concern. The Zealot hordes, trashed ancient monuments, smashed holy sites, if they were not their own?
The invasion, ended and, peace restored, had been at least, a momentary respite, for those recovering such treasures. Some were now being brought to the surface and on land carefully examined.
Sjui and Holliera were twins sisters. The knowledge, they shared, went beyond most, re the ancient ones, the Gods of creation and of course, not forgetting the Omini..
The peculiar cluster, of crystals, with varying colours, of blue and green, well mostly turquoise.. were shimmering, in the glint of the sunlight. A slight humming sound, a pulse of energy?
Secreted in the vaults, away from the surface, in cave area with an opening to the sky, covered with a structure of their own, that blocked out, any sunlight, streaming across the crystals.
WHY? Sjui, had not, liked the way, the crystals flared and, that sound, emanating from within them?
An harmonic pitch, a crescendo.. rising to become far more noticeable, was disturbing to the senses.
Out of the sunlight such, died back to nothing.
They had found a 3 headed statue, of an unknown, well to them unknown; was it well it seemed it had to be; God or Gods? Sjui had not been able to identify them despite some research though she had to admit a lot of the archives had been vandalised by the Zealots.
Something about them, stayed within her thoughts however much she tried to dismiss them she was still thinking about them when it happened. A massive earthquake? Or was it the space craft, that huge monstrous craft now landing.
Above the crystals, the structure was destroyed. Blown up and pieces, scattered to the winds, leaving the crystals below it, now exposed to the streaming sun light?
Pouring out of it, the Zealot hordes, but worse still, alien beings, forming up behind Salem?? Well not Salem. Meduix had no names, their commander,. had no name.
The military of the Medua.. the power within them of fthe Medua
all powerful now attacking, destroying all in their path, no mercy, no taking of prisoners, just death.
The ripple of the ground, still shaking beneath them, shaking, shaking and the after shock, almost double,
that of, the original shock wave? As it hit the statue..
The stone disintegrated.. like peeling it off what lay beneath; them. All three, as though wakind up?
As one? In front of the advancing forces of Medua... the one who had turned them to stone?
Ancient mythology.. often has some truth in it.. here now they were free of such a curse. The eyes glowed a deep red.. as those about to flee from the advancing hordes were unable to move.
Frozen to the spot, is an accurate description. Forced to watch, the mass of hell, descending upon them?
The crystals, deep within the cavern started to glow.. as the ‘females’ lips moved and, they started in harmony with the crystals resonance; to sing.
Ever louder, the sound an ever increasing chorus, an unrelenting ear piercing shriek, a wave escalating; wave after wave. Hitting those who stood before them.
The ones rushing at them, or those with their hands to their ears? Blood, blood everywhere, like, a fountain, sprays out jets of water.. not just blood one might add.. a lot more than that, as all that once was, ceased to exist.
ALL and I mean ALL, that had been, was now nothing and that included that space craft? Whatever it was made of shimmered, shook and disintegrated, well glowed an intense white before the bulk of it was liquid.
The shriek, died away. Silence as those behind or to the side of the females, stood to look, at what had been, was now gone? ALL of it!
Such power, was beyond their comprehension. The statue was now as it had been, stone? Well not quite, it was clearly different to what it had been. One might say, more organic in composition.
Over a thousand, wiped out, in the blink of an eye or eyes... no, more like a song of death.. from the ones, they did not know but were Sirens?
Their song, was not, to save those, they had saved. It was for the ears of ? Medua.. the one, who millions of years, as we would know them.. had hated hearing them sing.
Dragging them. out of the water. to stand before IT as IT turned their huddled forms to stone..
Thrown into the murky depths like dumping trash at sea..
Beneath the waves, all three alone, to atone?
the curse, of being, turned to stone..
In the depth of space.. beyond Solus 3 (Earth) Medua had felt, had sensed the destruction of all that had been, now gone. No fear, no regret, just a rising fury; a rage.
