  > "It wasn’t the monsters that scared people.

  It was the silence before they came.

  On the 23rd Hour of the Red Sky Shift, Earth’s sky cracked open. From those rifts, creatures not bound by physics or mercy emerged. They didn’t speak. They devoured.

  They thought it was the apocalypse.

  But it was only Phase One.*"
