Fomorians Began Their Ascent

The underworld trembled as the Fomorians began their ascent. Balor, Bres, Cethlenn, Tethra, Conand, and the rest of the monstrous kin moved with a purpose that shook the very foundations of the earth. Their long imprisonment had not dulled their powers but instead had honed their resolve. They were a storm brewing in the depths, ready to unleash their fury upon the unsuspecting world above.

Balor led the way, his eye blazing with a fire that seemed to light the dark tunnels as they ascended. The frequency device, now a part of him, pulsed rhythmically, guiding their path through the labyrinthine underworld. As they moved, the world above began to feel the first tremors of their return.

Deep beneath the oceans, Tethra’s command reverberated through the waters. Massive undersea earthquakes shook the seabed, sending tsunamis racing towards the coastlines. Coastal cities, unsuspecting and unprepared, found themselves battered by waves of unprecedented force. Panic and chaos erupted as the ocean reclaimed the land, pulling entire communities into its watery embrace.

Cethlenn, manipulating the very air itself, conjured fierce storms. Hurricanes formed seemingly out of nowhere, their destructive winds ripping through towns and cities, leaving devastation in their wake. Lightning cracked across the skies, heralding the return of the storm bringer. Power grids failed, plunging vast areas into darkness, and communication lines were severed, isolating communities and spreading fear.

From the depths of the earth, Conand’s forces surged upwards. Volcanic eruptions, long dormant, suddenly awoke with a vengeance. Lava flowed like rivers of fire, consuming everything in its path. Ash clouds filled the skies, blotting out the sun and casting an eerie twilight over the land. Earthquakes rippled across tectonic plates, toppling buildings and opening fissures that swallowed roads and infrastructure.

In the midst of this upheaval, Balor and Bres orchestrated their infiltration. As the world above reeled from the natural disasters, the Fomorians shape-shifted into human forms, emerging into the chaos with a facade of concern and leadership. Balor assumed the guise of a crisis manager, gaining the trust of those desperate for guidance. Bres, with his new identity as a high-ranking government official, began to manipulate political responses, steering decisions to further destabilise the human societies.

Amidst the destruction, the Fomorians moved with calculated precision. They targeted key locations—government buildings, military bases, religious institutions—embedding themselves into the very fabric of human civilisation. Their actions were swift and coordinated, each move designed to deepen the chaos and confusion.

In a small coastal town, an elderly woman looked out over the horizon, her face etched with worry. “The seas are angry,” she whispered to herself, clutching a rosary in her trembling hands. “Something old and powerful stirs.”

In a bustling city, a young reporter stared at her screen, struggling to keep up with the influx of catastrophic news. “It’s like the world is ending,” she murmured to her colleague. “Earthquakes, storms, floods… What’s happening?”

In the heart of the Vatican, a senior cardinal knelt in prayer, sensing a disturbance in the spiritual realm. “Lord, protect us from this darkness,” he prayed fervently, unaware of the true nature of the threat rising from below.

The Fomorians’ return was not just a physical resurgence but a psychological assault. The natural disasters were merely the prelude to their grand design. As the world struggled to cope with the immediate devastation, the true infiltration began. Balor’s eye, now concealed behind a human visage, watched with satisfaction as the seeds of their conquest took root.

“Let them tremble,” Balor thought, his lips curling into a sinister smile. “Let them fear the shadows and the storms. For we are the Fomorians, and our time has come.”

The ascent from the underworld was just the beginning. The world above was on the brink of a new age, one that would be defined by the rise of the ancient and powerful Fomorians. Their presence would reshape the destiny of mankind, and the echoes of their return would be felt across every corner of the Earth.
