A hole in the grey sky, revealing a tunnel darker than the Void; it was as if a god just deleted a circular hole of reality that is wide as the territory of the clockwork Fortress. The lack of air created a vacuum, sucking in the snowing, grey clouds.

Everything within the diameter of a thousand blocks, with the remains of the Clockwork Fortress, with Jess and her brother, at the very center, was being ripped upwards towards the sky.

The air felt heavy and weightless at the same time. Even the heavy snow stopped falling, drifting around with the large masses of uprooted ground.

The red, ominous glow leaked from the cracks that spread for a thousand blocks; originating from massive amounts of blood stolen from the Clockwork Fortress.

Jess looked up as her stunned brother let out a gasp in the dark hole in the crumbling sky. It was nothing more than a thick, red line. Yet it split down its length, the edges pinched together, before both halves moved away from each other, revealing a red circle; a iris of an eye.

They've seen it before, too many times even. It's the same eye the cultists at the Clockwork Fortress wear on their vein-covered cloaks.

Title: I See All

Species: ???

Elemental Affinities: [Unlimited] Heos (Chaos)

Most consider it to be a myth. The few and ignorant call it a god. Veritas is the collective will of every Chaos Sorcerer who died; the dark and primal desire to destroy everything.

This mighty being sleeps in a world outside of reality, feeding off of the contradiction of all dimensions, yet it cannot exist anywhere else other than Limbo. Every hundred years, it releases a fragment of that power to select a new Chaos Sorcerer to spread corrosive, chaotic energy to form an Anchor.

BWWWAAAMMM-!

It bellowed out, sending bone-chilling vibrations throughout the air. Blood and black monolithic structures rained from the cold sky as they seemed to be the only things unaffected by the lack of gravity.

"What did you do...?" Jesse screamed his voice drowning in the groaning of the god above while his sister's lich continues to hold him in place. The raining blood stained his body and everywhere else, casually floating and being pulled towards the eye in the sky. "Damn it, Jess, what did you do?!"

Jess gestured with her burned hand towards the eye, her body relaxed despite the lack of gravity. "Using the emotions of the dead and many, to strike down and kill a god."

"Kill a god?!" Jesse yelled in disbelief. "How are you going to kill something like that?!"

"Without you." Jess answered coldly. "I don't want you to take credit for what I've done; remember the Building Competition years ago? My cookie fountain?"

"Jess, I-!"

BLIP-!

Jess mentally commanded her lich to teleport her brother away. His friends are still unconscious, floating around, but why should she care?

Jess then glanced over, narrowing her eye in the distance to see Raven desperately battling her homunculus. Her son's body was crumbling as all of the nature energy he's been siphoning is starting to leak out of his breaking body, laughing like a maniac all the while. Jess just ignored them, for now at least; she sent PAMA to take care of Raven.
