[CS] A loud rumble erupted from the sky. I looked up. The overcast sky shook as hundreds - no, thousands of crimson lights flickered, the heavens parting as long, dark, jagged obelisks of all sizes descended from the sky. | The first Carthiginian wave halted their advance at the sight of the spectacle.
