Everyone that could hear it ran outside and in the night sky saw a blazing red ball of flame fall down from the upper atmosphere, followed by half a dozen others within the next few minutes.
This continued for the next half an hour. Various fireballs would come down from the sky but they all disappeared a few hundred meters above the Endless Forest.
Some 40 kilometres away from the village where all the tribes had gathered was one of the human encampments belonging to the second largest human tribe.
The camp that was usually filled with the chatter of dozens of servants and the many visitors coming to pay respect to the tribe leader was blanketed in an eerie silence. Not a single sound of any kind could be heard here. Even a graveyard would be more cheerful when compared to this place.
