For a brief moment, everything seemed to stand still, and then with a forceful thrust, Val pushed downward, driving the tentacles back into the chasm from whence they came. The gigantic creature below writhed in fury, its body trembling with rage that resonated through the abyss, the land and sky within it trembling as it raged.
Val's sixth sense was blaring alarms, a sensation of immense danger enveloping him. This was a feeling he knew all too well, a premonition that he faced a peril that could engulf him whole. If he were to confront this danger head-on, death awaited him, and following his demise, Eldrich would be plunged into unspeakable peril. Eliana, Oliver, and everyone he had met and come to care about because of selfish purposes would suffer.
'Must not let it cross into our world!'
The clarity of imminent danger sharpened his resolve, and instinctively, Val knew his next move.
