[@thewizardguy] While Alucard's storms and monsters were cute they proved little match to the type of material xel'rath's fortress was made up of, the typhoon seemed to be swallowed up more so than battering against the fortress along with any creature attempting to board it as though it had stepped into a black hole. The mark of invitation, however, was not missed so The great, towering hulk of a flying landmass still puttered along it's course while xel'rath parted from the fortress to see what sort of creature would take the time to summon a city-leveling storm just as a mark of invitation. Upon arrival xel'rath's presence provided a mix of comfort and fear as Alucard's supernatural aura was automatically devoured whenever coming near the creature of (ironically) light. It's voice was like any other to xel'rath, simply a voice charged with energy which was like snack cakes to the surprisingly short bird-man-thing when compared to Nim which towered over his surroundings. "I was simply drifting through the cosmos and happened upon this planet. It holds many different forms of living being that i was keen to study, however something more interesting has come to mind, in these creations here so i'm taking some time to divulge in my want for creation rather than destruction, and what brings you here creature? I'm assuming that one such as yourself could entertain it's fleeting existance by building an empire much like these 'goa'uld' did, or is there a reason you've decided to destroy this one in particular?" Xel'rath asks with a casual tone, Alucard's normal intimidation lost on the creature before him as much as his power over it as he could feel himself being sucked into it the more his aura lingered over it, weakening him simply via nature of his being even if it was obviously non-hostile at the moment.
