Fellow members,
At about 12pm (local time) today, an emergency call came in from one of the outlying towns. They were under attack from a swarm of gold dragons. Now I am not sure if this is the right collective noun, because generally gold dragons don't hang around in groups. They can be seen in twos, but generally that is a mated couple, rather than two "single" dragons. But the report that came in said there were around two hundred of them, and given what we know about gold dragons, this was not an extended family.
While we were dealing with that, more reports started pouring in from every major city in every county. Everywhere was under attack - moving from south to north. By the time we received the report the loss of life was already in the millions, and by 2:30pm - only three hours after the attack apparently started - more than 750 million were dead.
Then they came to the capital.
I have seen some horrible sights in my time - leviathian attacks, a heard of unicorn slaughtered in cold blood (though how else you would slaughter them I am not sure) and my husband trying to sing in tune, but this wiped them all out. Every building, every street was on fire. The Council Bunker was one of the first things to be destroyed, so I am now in temporary charge of my nation. Which is an indication of how bad things are, since I have no ability to govern a nation, and more to the point I am not an elected person so technically I am now a dictator. But given that the population of TilEnca has been reduced from nearly 1.1 billion to around three hundred I am not sure anyone is going to give a crap who is in charge.
I am not sure we are going to recover. The entire nation has been wiped out in less than 12 hours - we have no where left to go, nothing to do. I am advising everyone to declare themselves as refugees and move to another country. Once that is done I think.... well I think I am going to give myself to The Lords so that I can join my beloved.
TilEnca is dead. My once proud nation has been wiped out, and although some are saying we strike back, even they know it is folly to try. GeminiLand (the main suspect) has a population of around 1.5 billion. Even if a million times more people had survived the massacre we would still only be a fifth of their population. So instead we are going to fade in to the night, and become the forgotten people. We live, we survive. That is about all we can hope for.
