As Noah marveled at this wonder, feeling power coursing through him that would have taken normal beings multiple lifetimes to achieve…
BOOM!
A terrifying aura erupted behind him with force that made reality step back in acknowledgment. Noah spun to face the source, his enhanced perception immediately observing what stood before him.
The being was titanic in scale, humanoid in general shape but wrong in every specific. Its skin was bark-like but moved like flesh, inscribed with patterns that predated written Runes. Its eyes held depths of immensity!
Massive hands ended in fingers that could have carved mountains or cradled newborn thoughts with equal ease.
Most shocking was what it wasn't…this was not a Living Existence. Noah's enhanced perception confirmed it carried only the aura of a Fold Dweller with no Living Existential Authority, yet its power dwarfed any Duke he had encountered!
The being's expression was grave as stones that had witnessed the death of Folds.
