The Beast of Inevitability was filled with rage and a great feeling of loss and sorrow when it noticed that half of all Realities inside the Cradle had been lost to this unknown corruption. Its serpent's tail continuously lashed out, and the shards of corruption were erased before they could even cross anywhere close to the Beast and its wards.
Eos watched this confrontation with rapt attention. Before he understood the full nature of the Cradle, he was not going to reveal himself, and this was a chance for him to test his speculations about the Primordials, the Beasts, and Enoch for the subtle connection that seemed to bind all of these parties together.
It did not take long for him to discover that the Beast was perfectly capable of stopping every single shard that came close. The pattern from its tail might appear to be simple on the surface, but the profoundness it contained was something special.
