The crowd had been cheering for sometime, great battle calls that lofted to the rafters, tearing voices from lungs which alone would never have been heard in the great stadium. They drew from each other sweet sovereignty and devoured all that gave them pause in their minds, loosing themselves to passion and to some greater being which fed on their lost individuality. The sparks flew from the center of the stadium, the bonefire glowed and flared with fell life as that sweet sulfurous sapien smell etched its way into the noses of the jubliant men and women but they were to drugged by the ecstasy of their new found power to smell it. All they saw were blackening faces dripping like wax scultures made out of medicine and arcane textbook fluid oil. Great gouts of smoke billowed up, marring the heavens for miles around, though one would not notice with the heavy, anvil-black thunder clouds looming overhead. Suddenly with a crack of lightning the rain broke. Soot-stained water fell down from the sky and blacked the faces of the crowd with obsidian flesh dust now suspended in tears. Umbrellas went up and the fire went down but the crowd cheered and cheered with primordial urgings.
