The amphibian Herald's arrival on Soran did not go unnoticed. His wrathful roar traveled across the entire continent, heard by the Niraans who dwelt on Liaita's east coast, vibrated glass wings of fairies, the ruffled the fur of elves, and scattered forest nymphs who hovered over the mountains near the Gates of Doloran, reached west where it resonated within the scales of great and powerful dragons. The great serpents of rock and metal called Sarach surfaced from the frozen desert, their dorsal towers flashing with white light before it was converted into an intense aura, radiating from their backs as massive blue flames that were slightly transparent. Its cousin Agron reacted similarly, the entire desert shifting, quaking, the dunes undulating like ocean tides as the twin spirits began to rage with ethereal ferocity, triggered by the new presence. Amphriprioninae and his partner Megalodon sought retribution against Singar for his actions on Colossus. Waking up all of Liaita by unleashing a continental scream was definitely not the right way to go about it. The Vesuvian Virus' presence within the Entropic Passages invoked fear in their minds, the gradual rise in power of the virus allowing it to transform into a great and terrible storm chilled them to their cores, and the portal in the sky which emanated a dastardly aura not-yet-seen before caused them to feel fright that had not been felt since the invasion of the Aptosites hundreds of years ago. The portal had deposited a rock of unimaginable size and frigid temperature right ontop of the Lake of Flesh, freezing the surface solid. This strange, unknown rock which was propped up on the hand of a severed deity exuded a feeling of pure ominousness in the minds of those who viewed it, conjuring images of a great battle that was waged between beings who resembling a cross between men and birds. The fall of those beings, the agonizing brutality which was emitted through their screams, and undeniably distinct sensation of treachery, as if the ones who viewed the rock alongside them might reach out and slit their throats. Megalodon's loud, obnoxious bellowing did nothing except scare the living daylights out of Liaita's inhabitants. As the Sharkborg and his partner continued to descend, it might have noticed the rain within its immediate area suddenly cease falling, as if defying gravity. Without warning the droplets evaporated, leaving naught but a dense fog that was rapidly expanding in area, obscuring Megalodon and Amphriprioninae's sight and reducing their visual radius down to a minimum. Attempting to to locate the source of the phenomenon by psychic means would be useless, for it would ensnare those minute pulses of psychoelectric energy the moment they were released, slowing them to a halt before they could make it to Liata's surface. The Herald would have to find a means of reaching Singar using strictly its physical senses, and if it didn't hurry up, soon the Fog would infiltrate its nose, mouth and gills, wherein it would then slow the very neurons within [b]both[/b] their brains to a complete and utter halt. Unbeknownst to the pair this was just Corruptor's way of greeting them, preferring not to get involved in a direct combative confrontation unless it was absolutely required of him to do so, and ontop of that he had a Fallen Angel to speak with. In the meantime, a giant aperture formed inside the Fog granting sight to what was still left of the rainstorm. From within that aperture two massive, luminous crimson eyes embedded deep within a horned, rocky facade resembling a two mile long snake slithering through the hole in the Fog, its dorsal towers alight with the very same colorful energy crackling up and down the colossal structures. The beast was not alone though, for encircling its entire body was a dense cloud of dust, the individual particulates composing the living plume conducting what appeared to be the very same blue flames that had shown themselves in Liaita's northern desert. The beast came ever closer to Megalodon the Fog parting around its form, its jaw opening up as the crimson light drained from the towers on its back, forming a dense sphere within its mouth, the very same occurring at its tail end. Then, without warning, the sphere at the rear detonated, propelling [i]Sarach[/i] and [i]Agron[/i] the latter of whom's body had been reduced to dust in order to serve as a shield through which to protect the serpent. The sphere which it held in its mouth fired a thickly concentrated beam of ether which bore a strange resemblance to liquid as it undulated across the sky on a direct course for the Sharkborg, and would surely devastate he and his Clownfish and his partner if it hit.
