Story

The aurora started off as a green band across the sky but then a few hours later it turned into a shimmering veil in the northern horizon. Every now and then a pink fragment would explode out of nowhere and disappear not long after. The veil was behind the clouds that started to appear on the northern horizon. Eventually just as the activity heightened the sun started to rise and the colour was drained out from the sky.
