Ianthe Kallias had carried the weight of an Observable Existence in her body since she was young, and until this war, she had believed that meant something.
The sky of THE Golden Expanse had been gold all her life. Now it ran blue and wrong, rivers of Infinity pouring through it in torrents, and beneath those torrents the invaders' Pantheons stood unleashed across the plains, palaces and coils and hungry geometries pressing their laws down onto ground that had never obeyed anyone!
Their Intents came ahead of them like weather. Hundreds of her people held the line with their bare bodies and their exemplified weight, and the line was moving the wrong way.
She drove her fist through an Infinite Lifeform's descending claw and felt the claw's law try to write itself onto her bones before her weight crushed it out!
CRACK!
