The feast roared on across the golden island, and beneath its laughter, Noah gave a silent command to THE Infiniverse to take the herd below. All of it!
She stepped off the edge of the drifting island and flew down.
Noah watched her descent as her cerulean-threaded form dove through the mists of the sanctuary, and then THE Infiniverse went to work in a manner only a Living Observable Existence could. Her authority spread out across the entire basin as she carved out this whole section of THE Krazhor-Nul Dimension, the silver-green plains, the towering blue groves, the placid herds of Mistgrove Behemoths mid-graze, even the ancient soils and the mist itself, all of it separating from the dark geography in one colossal, gentle excision. The dimensional forcefield collapsed as its paradise simply rose, an entire ecosystem lifting like a lily pulled whole from a pond!
And she pulled it into herself.
Her form bloomed with cerulean light as the carved sanctuary folded into her existence, realms within her opening to receive it, and the herds did not even panic, placid natal intents registering only that the sky had changed color and the grass was somehow sweeter. Within moments, an entire domain of THE Krazhor-Nul had been relocated into THE Infiniverse, and somewhere inside her.
And while she did so...Noah heard back from Ryaenara at this time.
He had already heard from THE Creature a little while ago, flat words crossing the dark to confirm he was safe, his portion of the Serpent collapsed into dust. And right now, threading faintly through the heavy weavings of this Dimension, Ryaenara’s voice arrived saying similar words!
"Fucking finally, the threads connect. That serpent was a pain!" Her voice carried its old looseness. "Now listen, I cannot sense your location. Everything in this Dimension carries unknown restrictions, the weavings here are old and territorial, and if we drift too far apart, even messages like this one may not reach through anymore. So describe the regions you have recently crossed, landmarks, anything, and we will see about coming together again."
A pause, and then her voice dropped lower.
"And one more thing. When I defeated his body, that snake looked at me with those crimson eyes and said, ominously, mind you, that they were coming for us. They. Not I. He has called for help, or he serves something that is now aware of us. Be careful."
Noah smiled slightly as he listened.
This was almost the exact same conversation he had held with THE Creature. The same inability to sense locations, the same request for landmarks, well, without the warning.
He proceeded to communicate back to Ryaenara, describing the million-mile obsidian tree, the fossil valleys, the bone sea’s direction, every landmark their golden island had crossed.
And while he did this, he looked at his feasting people, and made a decision.
"Everyone," Noah called out, and the laughter quieted as dozens of faces turned to him. "Finish the feast inside THE Infiniverse. Take the remaining meats with you, take your time, and acclimate to the power settling in you. Your Sources are elevated and your armaments are new, so train with them, learn them, and grow fat and strong! When the time comes, if its safe, you can put the power to use. Otherwise...we may have to upgrade The Dungeons and Crucibles within to give you all a taste of Adversity..."
...!
His words rang out and began to be followed by all.
He needed to get a better grasp of this Dimension and its dangers, and a feast, however joyous, was a gathering of everything he loved in one exposed place. His people withdrew in cheerful waves, Titano carrying three plates, the Emperor Penguin refusing to relinquish his roast, Amelia squeezing Noah’s hand once before stepping through, and soon the golden island held only those he left outside.
Seo-yeon, still sensing upon the throne’s handle. THE Infiniverse. And Emotive!
