It was almost a flash of light, yet it wasn't. it was a flash of darkness. Of light being sucked out of the world like a candle being blown out. Diesel trumpeted, his nostrils flaring in the near black. Skidding around on the road, his hooves dancing across the cobbles, he tried to calm himself. It was completely dark. Not the dark of night, for in that sort of dark you can see shadows. Shapes, even if you cannot see details. No, this darkness was a complete, and utter darkness. No light shone in any place. Anywhere in helovia. It was completely and utterly gone. Diesel narrowed his eyes, and moved a tentative step forward. Another. Slowly he made his way through the blackness, his hooves crushing little things he'd normally avoid. Internally he winced. In the blackness things were screaming. Their voices echoing. Fear and terror tainted the air like smoke. It hung around the trees, as the leaves shriveled.
He didn't know what to do--where to go. Diesel stumbled, his feathers playing around him as he stalled. He lowered his head, blowing out hard. his head spinning reeling, Diesel closed his eyes and swayed slightly.
