Leila stood in front of Elaric.
Above and beneath them stretched the never-ending cosmos.
Galaxies spun in silence....
Stars burned and died in the blink of an eye...
Entire universes expanded and collapsed within moments.
Time itself twisted and distorted around them, warping reality into impossible shapes.
Floating high above, countless eyes...
Each stretched into eerie slits of light as they gazed down upon them coldly.
Those eyes seemed to form the shape of something…
Something far beyond human understanding.
The trial for the Authority of Omniscience had begun.
Leila's breathing turned ragged as she looked up at the impossible sight.
Her knees trembled under the crushing pressure the environment brought to her.
Even the two voices of fate that always whispered quietly in her ears… fell silent.
They watched in hushed fear, as if unwilling to disturb what was unfolding.
An unnatural stillness surrounded her mind, yet within that stillness was chaos.
