913 Shift (Part Two)

Leaping out from the World Barrier into the Void, Barnil's expression changed slightly as he silently surveyed the Void around him. Around the Zeta Ram system, spell rings were spreading rapidly as silver-blue psionic radiance went ablaze upon his arrival. In that single instant, the barrier over Zeta Ram was augmented, leaving the old mage briefly unable to return.

Intangible shadows appeared behind the rings one after the other, revealing High Priests who had crossed the Dimensional Hub's seals from across galaxies. The cyclops had abandoned their physical form and arrived as pure psionic clones. Encircling the dimensional coordinates locked by Barnil, they were seemingly intent on staying guard there to prevent the old mage from re-sealing it.
