Nasty Things

Doodling up that abomination inspired me to go digging through my ugly archives for a particular design from waaaaay back in… I think this is 2007 or 2008. This is the Two-Faced Sol, the false sun that patrols the scorched skies of Pride. Its disc can be measured in kilometers and its eight rays measure the full width of the face each. The Two-Faced Sol acts as an early-warning system should the Level be breached in any way, and serves as a first line of defense. Looking into its eyes causes madness. Knight Fuguriei and his silver army have a run-in with the Sol when they step onto Pride’s sands with intent to invade [[super old writing, fyi]]:

Above, the eyes return a third time, coming into the open with its horrid grin set in a metallic disk of a body. The men turn their gazes upwards in wonder.

One of the knights in front begins to shiver and shout, falling to his knees and dropping his shield. He cries at the sky, pointing at the thing that floats there with a wicked smile of skeletal teeth. “The eyes of the Devil!” he shouts hysterically, covering his face and crying like a child. “Don’t look at me! Don’t look at me!” The others step back from him, and the Captain strides forwards to put sense back into this fool. As he nears the man curls his fingers against his eyes and scratches at them, his gloves coming away red. The stricken knight screams as he pulls out his own eyes. “Don’t look at me!” is all he says as the rest of his face follows after, swiftly gouged and torn to a bloody mess.

Some of the knights turn and flee for their lives. “God has abandoned us!”
