In the next instant, existence cracked!
Fissures erupted from the depths of THE Maw, racing up through the obsidian crystal and the abandoned scaffolding and the lethal dark, and it did not feel like stone breaking!
It felt like the fabric underneath the stone breaking, like the idea that held the mine together had developed a flaw and the flaw was spreading. And in the middle of that cracking, Noah felt something grand.
He felt THE Prime Cause of Bellum of Arkethys move.
Move, with purpose, the war-truth of an entire Observable Existence turning like a head turning, and it imposed itself, deliberately, onto Dame Seraphine and the other Fifth Scale existence present. The Cause of an Observable Existence does not choose targets...normally. It is a foundational truth, not a creature with intentions.
And yet this one chose, and it chose the strongest beings in the mine!
Something Noah had done...in Chernobyl!
HUUM!
Sir William moved first, and the other Swords moved with him.
