Preparation
As if heralded by the predawn light, it was not with a whimper but a roar that they arrived. An enormous portal exploding open over the city releasing one, two, three, and finally four V flying formation of five mounted dragons each, the dragons dark as a moonless night their riders draped in hooded cloaks just as of the same. They separated into an over lapping patrolling pattern over the city.
As this was happening overhead two more portals roared to life in the Marketplace, from one, with what could only be described as the highest degree of military precision, row after row after row of figures concealed in iridescent white cloaks from beneath the hoods electric blue eyes that almost seem to glow from within each carried a staff of polished silver topped with a fist sized cut and polished clear crystal fanned out throughout the city until one stood at every corner.
From the other portal emerged a what appeared endless stream of figures hidden in cloaks of darkest browns and greens, faces hidden in lift hoods, what was not and could be hidden was what walked by their sides felines as big as tiger in shades of brown from cream to mahogany drifting like a midnight fog into the whole of the city, into alley ways and other darkened places eyes to see without being seen, ear to hear without being heard.
