Volume 1: Evolution is Agony.

A thunderous explosion could be heard echoing throughout the land as the violent storm collided with the the three tiered city.

The howling of the wind intermingled with the sound of ripping metal could be heard here and there through out Cerebus.

Shockingly the lowest and smallest of the tiered city, the third layer suddenly tears free from the anchoring points that had withstood numerous other storms, lack of repair and care now evident as thousands scattered into the violent winds getting torn asunder from the barren landscape, their howls of agony adding to the cacophony of destruction.

Late to the arrival, the first and second layer begin emergency procedures, klaxon alarms fighting to be distinguishable against the onslaught. Citizens of the second and third, though unprepared stood better chances than those lost below, more resources meant a better chance of surviving in this unforgivable place, and with the sounds of emergency clamps adding extra support to the pillar shooting into the sky, as well as the sound of an ethereal humming that slowly begins to overtake the sounds of the storm. Growing to a cresendo the first layer suddenly pulses with a bronze light, surging out and repelling the worst of the coming tide, the protective barrier barely securing the second too it's holdings as well.

There would be no hope for anyone that remained on the third, and those on the second only recieved minimal protections from the first, as a weaker gray barrier could be seen coating the outermost regions to mitigate the damage even more, the cost astronomical for a modicum of protection, if the storm didn't let up soon, the flickering gray barrier might give, testing the ingenuity of the people living within this society.
