So We Can Take the World Back From the Heart-Attacked
The night of the 21st, the sun begins to dim. It dips in the horizon, sinks to nestle itself in the center of Chol like a star falling in slow motion, where it begins to smolder quietly - massive, smoking, and hot, like a massive egg. The night grows colder, the sky reduced to an inky black. The surface of the surrounding water is still but for the occasional ripple, the odd, strangely subdued wave, with not even the hollow lights of distant stars to glint off its reflective waves.
The Jormun gather around the sunken, dying sun with their scaled hands on their weapons, their expressions grim. They fan out across the island of Chol with arms in hand. Their fortifications have settled around the island's center in a dense ball of bristling weapons. They have been preparing for this. They are ready to fight.
Are you?
No more preparation. No more running.
From here on out, it is fight or die.

One Maniac At a Time, We Will Take It Back
As the Storyteller has promised, there is sanctuary in their temple on Ensō, which will keep out the worst of the creatures. It will not, however, protect characters from the cold and dark, and so they will have to keep themselves warm some other way.
The Jormun fight fiercely, but they do not fight alone. Aside from the help that the willing of your number have offered, you may glimpse the Storyteller battling alongside the rest in a flurry of strange, shifting animal shapes: a heavy-antlered reindeer, a shrieking owl with outstretched talons, a slavering grizzly bear with the Storyteller's signature tome strapped across a broad, furry back, to name but a few. Those creatures that the Storyteller defeats will burst into a flurry of paper and dark, spattering ink, rather than being felled in the conventional manner. How odd.
As this is an event with a high risk of death, the Storyteller will impose death penalties for one week only. However, deaths succumbed during the event will count towards the character's total.

Then I'll Raise You Like a Phoenix
Come the sunrise on the 28th, the sun will launch itself into the air with a victorious shriek, its wings trailing plumes of fire behind it. The phoenix takes flight, reborn from the ashes.
Munin will greet the survivors with a mixture of solemnity and relief, thanking them profusely for their help. There is not much more that her people can offer you, at this point - they must grieve their dead, and she must return to the sea to prove that she has cemented her worth as a leader in the eyes of the other Jormun - but that does not mean that your stories will part forever.

no subject
[Ignis shakes his head. Though the words apply to them both, he says them more for her than for himself. There he is, expecting just that little bit more from himself than others. He really should stop that, but it's hard to force the change when there are so many other things that take precedence in his mind.]
You're not stupid. Battle is unpredictable.
[The words 'And you're sill alive,' remain unspoken, but are very heavily implied.]
no subject
[Given what he knows and understands about her origins, he can... understand, that statement, better than most. She hopes it doesn't make him pity her, that's not exactly her intention.
Really, half her reason for saying this had been to try to cheer Ignis up. And... self-deprecating as a lot of her words are, it still is. They ultimately both have a lot of reasons for holding themselves to really high standards, to think they should be better than this. And yet they both made mistakes. They're both... well, normal, in that way. She guesses.]
no subject
They both could use a hug right about now. He just hope she understands what he is trying to ask for.]
no subject
She has enough restraint to keep herself from launching into his side, but she does settle next to him pretty quickly, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. Fighting the lump that formed suddenly in her throat. ]
no subject
Small reassurances might be all he can give people right now, but he will give them with all his heart, troubled as it may be right now.]
no subject
She sighs, eventually. ]
Has anybody tried any healing?
[It feels like a stupid question, honestly, but...]
no subject
[Ardyn had tried at the beginning, and while the healer's skills had helped with the burns, it had done nothing for the catatonic state Ignis was left in. He'd tried as well, once he was able to focus enough to command magic again, but it had done no good. Ignis isn't sure if it was due to his own weakened state or the creatures themselves, but he's not let anyone else waste efforts after that. Their energy is needed elsewhere.]
Only time will heal these wounds.
no subject
[Well, it'd been worth asking. She lapses into silence for a little while longer, then...]
I wish I knew what to say... or do. But this is all I can.
no subject
[He tightens his arms around her as well as he can.]
It's more than you know.
