"Look, more closely, Captain Slika..." A voice of deceptive silk, poured out as a liquid, displacing the subtle vapours of decadent death, in the air. Crimson filled the air between the cracked grey lips, as the lulling sound lumbered in its deep tenor-baritone to the ear long decayed into nothing more than a sullen pit. Flakes of flesh tumbled slowly from the bone-white forehead of the deceased man, as the gentle breeze of the serpents hissing words disturbed their resting places upon the remains of the cadaver."What you see as the world..." Sewn eyes were brought forward, the skull tapping against the soft flesh of the looming beast that hurtled faster and faster towards the damned, as a vision of the world was brought into view by the fine... cold mists of viridescent malignance.
"Is a lie..." A tongue composed of the shade of midnight coalesced over the crackled flesh of those ravenous charred lips, coating it in a thick dark dribbling of liquid, marking the trail of its pursuit for the soft moistened ground of the beast's gullet. Then, from beyond one's view, a mass of similarly 'bleeding' tongues crawled through the air, as they wrapped around the vaporous form of Dantooine... and crushed it... banishing it...
... into Darkness.
-----------------------------------------
The Primeval Fleet orbited above the harmonious world of Dantooine, content and comfortable with its soft presence without the hard militarization so common on other worlds. Renowned only for its latent history with the Jedi at one point in history, and being insignificant in any other part of it. The Natives held a sizable influence these days, though no presence was absolute on this world.
The Fleet stationed here, was a partial one, meant merely to respond to threats if one ever arrived. Though with the Seekers of the Rift taking their Enclave to this place, filling their Riftsingers, Bloodborne, and Riftwalkers with the power of the dark side of the force in their particular rituals as they attempt to progress forward to the conclusion to their endless journey. It was not the concern of the fleet...
... but today, it may be yet.
"Admiral, we seem to be receiving a message... it comes from the Chiloon Rift... from, Admiral Thetsh." An officer on the bridge of the Primeval-Class Star Destroyer Balagoth notified Admiral Hgar. "All it seems to say is... change. Do you know what that means, sir?
"That's the entire message?" Hgar questioned, confounded by this oddity.
"Yes, sir... wait... there's another one. From Vice-Admiral Jok'u... change." The officer looked up to his admiral from his station, and something off-putting had suddenly put concern into his voice. The Admiral was about to speak, when another officer spoke up. "Another one, sir, Rear-Admiral Weab. Same message." The Admiral whirled around with a clear look of confusion, unable to formulate a clear response. Another officer attempted to speak, but the Admiral cut him off.
"Enough, somebody ask them what this means. I don't have time for nonsen-"
"A ship just dropped out of hyperspace, sir... it's The Thorn." The Admiral's heart skipped a beat. "Another message. Commodore Vun." Then the other officer spoke up. "Captain Slika." Hardly a moment later, "Sir, another ship dropped out of hyperspace... it's not a design I've seen before."
"Hail those ships immediately! Order them to stand down for inspection! I don't know what this Warlord or his lackies are doing, but I say enough to this cryptic nonsense. If they do not comply, shoot them down." A moment of silence filled the bridge.
"Sir..." An officer merely looked outside of the bridge, to which the Admiral had his back turned. Realizing the officer had nothing else to say, he turned around slowly to see before him, sprawled out across a blanket of stars... ship... after ship... after ship... hundreds of them... arive. The officers continued to receive the cryptic message of change, from more and more dead members of the Black Prophet's former crew, all identical and being transmitted from the Chiloon Rift.
The Admiral stood there breathless, before issuing one order:
"Prepare for battle, and send a message to Bastion immediately... it may be our last."
