Swoosh—!
In the profound silence, the hailstorm roared even harder.
It was a chorus of ice and wind—a screaming gale that should have drowned all thought, all sound, and all reason. And yet, between Rex and Diamantona, there were many unspoken thoughts in the stillness. One levitating higher than the other. One a presence of grandeur draped in crimson crystal and obsidian skin, while the other the perfect synchrony between man and beast.
Just as they were rooted in a standstill, the far distance flashed with a blinding white light.
A fulmination.
A searing, all-consuming detonation that split the horizon before the thunderous boom followed a second behind. An echthral roar that spread across the entire realm, rattling the ground and shaking the choking night sky.
Above, the fabric of the new realm was cracked open—the dimensional veil was torn asunder.
Everyone watched as the tear gaped wider like a new wound, raw and bleeding light.
