Just as the lead Warships began to crest the final mountain peak, moments before the ships would enter the kill zone and trigger the catastrophic formation, the space directly in front of the Imperial Dreadnought fractured with a soft, iridescent light.

She was a being of profound, unsettling purity, and she radiated an ancient power that felt utterly detached from the current power struggles of Dalu.
She appeared for only a fleeting second, her gaze fixed on Vahn, who immediately felt a powerful spiritual premonition of imminent danger.
