It happened early one morning, as people were just getting up for the day. It came as a blinding flash of light from ther sky, an enormous jet of fire that slammed into the centre of the city at an enormous speed.

Much of the central business district was utterly incinerated and flattened by the initial impact. The light of the blast blinded many watching it, and the shockwaves sent out tore apart buildings and flung cars away like paper. Fire ripped through the streets. Many were killed...though a few lucky, or not so lucky people dragged themselves out of the rubble to face a place utterly different form anything they remembered.

There was confusion. No-one knew what had happened. A meteorite perhaps? People were mostrly accepting that theory to begin with, as they tried to rescue the wounded and awaited the authorities to launch a releif effort. People set up makeshift shelters and tried to treat injuries and find clean food and water....but as they did so, strange things began to appear. People reported seeing animals wandering form the impact point that seemed to..glow. Their fur had become stark white and thier eyes glowed a searing blue. A lot of people didn't take these reports too seriously...until they began seeing people like that too. It seemed it be some strange sort of poisoning or mutation. People's skin and hair would turn white, their eyes would begin to glow, and luminous marks would spread over their bodies. They'd quickly become a lot lighter on thier feet and be able to go for very long periods without sleep...though they also began to have strange....episodes. They'd get unexplained rages, lose their temper a lot faster and quickly turn to attacking others. People soon began avoiding the 'Influenced' if they could, fearing their developing tempers.

Then, the authorities arrived. Men in masks and biohazard suits that rolled into town and began 'securing' the place. They began dragging off Influenced left and right, taking them to a base they were setting up around the impact crater, for 'study'. The Influenced were, unsurprisingly not keen on going, as no-one ever seemed to return from there. Everyone was curious however. What was the impact and what was causing these strange, unnatural mutations....where would they lead eventually?

The truth was far from anything they could possibly imagine. An angel had fallen to earth.
