The Divine Mother froze.
Ria's eyes opened.
Within their amber depths was the faintest of sense of hope.
A glint of recognition.
"…Papa?"
RUMBLE!!!!!
It was not the world that shook.
It was not the debris, the asteroids, the planets, or even the dwarf stars that shook.
It was not even space and time.
It was reality itself.
Reality itself quaked in a manner beyond the realm of material causality.
RUMBLE!!!!!
The roaring rumble that echoed through the information dimension was distinct.
It was not the seismic bellows of earthquakes.
It was not the booming collision of a meteorite.
No.
It was closer to the distinctive roar of a waterfall.
The churning rumbles of a mighty river.
The cacophonic orchestra of heavy rain.
It was all of them.
It was water.
It was Water.
RUMBLE!!!!!
The world shook as the entirety of the Strehegeld Star System was drowned in a flood of water.
A tsunami that consumed the entire star system.
