It was a momentary lapse in judgment.
One step, one wrong step towards her endangered subordinates and the very reality answered.
It began with a flicker.
There was no light, no sound, just… absence.
A sudden folding of existence, as if the world exhaled and forgot to inhale.
Then came the flash.
Just a pulse of blinding white—so bright that it blinded every being present in Khaemorr, even the one standing at the very opposite end.
Yes, the entirety of Khaemorr was lit up,
And then—
BOOOOOOOOOOOM
Collapse.
The space around the impact point folded in on itself, jagged threads of black lightning cracking inward, dragging stone and light into a singular, snapping point. An implosion, as if the very universe had bitten a chunk of Khaemorr out of the map.
A ring of shattered terrain peeled outward in a perfect circle, glass-like debris hanging in the air as if time had forgotten gravity. The air vibrated, then stopped. For a moment, the world simply… paused.
