When Thalios exited the rift of light, which encompassed mere centimeters through an empty dimension in which space was collapsed, he would find himself in the void of space.  Alongside it floated the grotesque dream-phantom, ghostlike in posture but not consistency, for what so often seemed like blinding radiance now took on the appearance of mottled flesh.  In front of Thalios and Aforgomon loomed the gargantuan alien craft like an island in the sky, a veritable floating city.  Countless lights shone from its surface, and invisible waves radiated from its towers that instructed the aliens on earth in gruesome, zealous genocide.  

The brightest beacon burned like a little star between the Great One’s palms.  Its own insight prickled Thalios’ mind.  [i]Men look to the heavens expecting to find ones who keep their words, for seldom do they live on earth.  Honoring wishes, young one, separates gods from over-mighty charlatans.  Here, look: this ecstatic starlight.  Nightmares are most potent when they infest and worsen existing fears.  Take this brilliant tear, and with terror rend it.  Fear is the knife that will sever the narrow spaces between realities.[/i]

After Thalios obliged, turning the tear a violently frothing purple, Aforgomon spread its arms.  The rift spread in response, growing wider and wider still, a slice wound between dimensions growing more dire by the second.  Wreathed in a bizarre dark light, the tear outgrew the space center of the Amgetoll Forces, and only then did the perilous bonds give way and the gash flop open.  Like an enormous eye the tear opened, an absolutely colossal gate into alternate space that was green and vile.  Into view through this abominable aperture, an impossible gargantuan [i]thing[/i] slowly slid.  Its rippling surface seemed a deep, reflective, and gelatinous purple-brown, stretching across hundreds and hundreds of feet of its tubelike body.  With a hungry precision, the immense alien worm reached into the dimension of the Merged with its menagerie of heads, clamping thousands of teeth onto the alien spaceship, before it pulled.  With surprising speed, that horror beyond horrors dragged the helpless craft toward its realm.  Only a few moments remained before the ship would be lost to the otherworldly, abyssal miasma to be slowly rent apart and consumed by maws innumerable.
