A brilliant flash of light, like the heart of an exploding sun.<br/><br/>Silence.<br/><br/>Eight massive explosions.<br/><br/>Silence.<br/><br/>A scream, a<em>wail,</em>that echoes across the entire Astral plane, the most horrid cry, summonned from the depths of the Beyond, an ear-splitting, soul-shattering screech, powerful enough to flay the flesh from any mortals within a hundred miles. As the stars fade from Draiss' eyes, he can see<em>why</em>the Beyonder is screaming. Its blood-red core is cracked, a spiderweb of fractures covering more than half of the sphere. The entire creature begins jerking and shuddering erratically, it's shell twisting and writhing in impossible shapes, as it maintains the wail, spasming across the sky. The other gods see their opportunity and, led by Thor and his mighty hammer, they launch an assault on the injured creature. Epic magics, the likes of which no mortal has seen since the dawn of creation, and likely will not see until the end of times, are hurled at the creature; most are absorbed by its outer shell, but that, too, buckles under their blows, and a number of them manage to get through, further spreading the spiderweb of cracks across its face.
