Barid seems quite interested in the results of the test, though almost disappointed when it ends. He laughs, slightly, at Draiss comments... until he emphasizes the word 'almost'. The pure, unadulterated<em>rage</em>that flashes across his eyes is more destructive than even the bomb that they just watched, and for a barest instant, he looks as if he were ready to kill Draiss, and everyone else standing in the room. It fades, and he's back to his jovial, seemingly carefree self again, but it's a significant moment, and few in the room missed it.<br/><br/>There is, in the following few minutes, a general sort of panic, from all across the planes, from the various gods. Curiously, most of them, even Verdelet's, don't seem to realize that it was<em>Draiss</em>that triggered the event; many are blaming it on the Beyonders, especially since they've been suspiciously absent from the war.<br/><br/>The noticeable spike in energy seems to be coming from a conflux of ley lines, on the plane, where a small portal has opened, almost directly above it, and has begun siphoning off massive amounts of natural energy. Unfortunately, as soon as he begins trying to study the portal, whoever created it seems to notice, and the portal snaps shut... as another spike appears, on a different plane.
