Draiss nodded, leaning against the wall. "So it appeared in your domain? Then why in the name of the over deities would a god go and make a fortress... Wait..."<br/><br/>He paused, and then rephrased the question he had been about to ask as a statement. "One would have to be crazy to be build a fortress near the site of such a battle. In fact, one would have to be using moon logic. Or perhaps... Beyonder logic?"<br/><br/>He leaned against a nearby wall, following that random thought to its logical conclusion, if one allowed for an insane logic to begin with. "Limbo. You fought it, and while you and your allies badly hurt it, reality couldn't support even a dying and damaged Beyonder existing here, so it... created a clot around it, so to speak, sealing it away from the rest of reality. I think I can guess what my opponent is trying to do. She doesn't want to create a new portal, maybe she wants to 'heal' and 'wake' this one.<br/><br/>That fortress is a housing, a cocoon to protect its damaged 'body' while it recovers. It isn't 'awake' any more, but it lashes out at whatever enters it 'safe area'."<br/><br/>He stopped and considered the possibilities, before shaking his head. "No, she might not know about it. I need to not assume I know what she is trying. She might be trying to wake this one and bring more, or just bring more here. No matter what, her original plot was to open a permanent portal to the Beyonder planes, and I know she won't have given up on that, she juts needs one large enough to get one through and stable enough to not implode immediately upon activating. Far more efficient to do both than one."<br/><br/>He shook his head again, before looking up at her, no longer the laid back and polite young man he had been, now he was as focused as a dragon with the promise of getting revenge in front of it. "If you remember anything else about that fight, please tell me immediately. I will be arming myself and mine for dealing with what is left of this one. If you would like, you can come with us to finish it."<br/><br/>He nodded to Inari, and then left, sending a thought to Gammon, asking for him to attend the meeting tomorrow with the other gods for the Beyonder discussion. He then informed the shadow stalker oversoul about the fortress and the need to destroy it, and recommended that they begin arming up for an incursion. He then returned to the scrying room, and began trying to get a feel for the fortress, how big it was and what other creatures might be in the interior, they could remove them as well as possibly weaken the Beyonder further. It had to be getting power from somewhere, and if they could cut it off from that, or even better, destroy it, they could retreat and begin starving it to death.
