HEADLINE!: SHARKNADO BBQ INCIDENT
Mid morning on March 12th, began some strange, but innocuous events. The wind and water called to a placid lassitude that belied the coming uproar. This calm proved to be but a breath in as the winds and waters soon exhaled and ripped at the island, and explosions tore at the sky.
A great, unknown device shot wide and crashed through the city walls and dome, leaving a gash a half a mile in our forward facing defenses. To answer, defensive forces engaged near the docks, and the gates were soon under siege. War broke out and several were wounded in the ensuing battles.
Their efforts were not without their victory, however, as the attacking Elementals, revealed that they had in their possession, the device that had been used to pierce the dome. With grand effort, and many wounds, the City Forces gained control of the powerful device, a Transdimensional Core.
By mid-day, the elementals had sounded a retreat, and it seemed victory had been attained. But this was merely a calm in the storm, as a second attack was sounded by the Elementals a few hours later. Reports state the the invading army had passed through the breach under illusion, to appear at key locations, such as the Nexus, Library, Gates, and Park.
The clock face of the Nexus burst into shards of glass, destroying an iconic symbol of this city, heralding the arrival of sky-falling harpies. Battle tore through the city on multiple fronts. The Library burned as sorties defended both it, as well as the Gates. Those at the Gate were soon overwhelmed and the enemies breached. This brought more enemy troops into the city, bringing about the near fall of the Nexus.
When the fighting reached its zenith, Ada called out a warning over the Adanet of "Impending Transdimensional Shift." This warning preceded the trigger of the Nexus Device. Every Elemental in the city disappeared simultaneously, dissolving into light and were all expunged from the city without a lingering trace.
With the fall and disappearance of the slavers, Sylvani seemed to appear all over the city in local flashes of light. The power used was not without consequences, The Nexus Device caught on fire and burned for several minutes before it was able to be put out safely.
Casualties of both body and city numbered high, and the repair will take significant time. Infrastructure and many buildings sustained damage, as well as the wall, and dome, itself. Some citizens are still unaccounted for, and considered to be among the missing that were taken captive by the Elementals in the first wave.
Not without their own scruples and gratitude, and surely no lack of defiance, the recently freed Sylvani released some of those held captive, and guided them to their own freedom.
Among the dead and wounded, at least six ducks were found dead, including Damion. His mouth was noted to be "full of something that looked like it might have been worn by an air elemental." Reports claim that Damion Jr. mourns the loss of his father and declares, in fowl language, that he shall rule in his father's place with an iron bill. We at the Convergence Chronicle cannot confirm these claims, and hope to <redacted> <redacted> this is some crap an editor slipped in. Either way, hide your wives, gird your loins, and guard your balls.
It is also worth noting that some citizens claim the "Sharknado incident," was little more than a drug-induced weekend party, and that the BBQ weekend was a huge success.
