The word spread. It passed from the mandibles of frantic messengers to the communications operators of isolated detachments. Local commanders distributed it to their troops, who then promptly made sure that the locals that they relied on for secrecy and support heard it as well. The appalling news spread and carried throughout the ranks of the Fallen across Sanghelios, and wherever it went it left shock and fury in its wake. Demons had been brought to Sanghelios. This was a crime beyond imagining, a betrayal that could not be expressed with words alone. And then a furious roar split the air.
