Forced Change [1]

There were no words that could be said to describe that moment.

Audiences watched with bated breaths as that "thing" shot out of the ground. It was too big to understand what it actually was. The only thing part of its body that people could actually see was the huge mouth that swallowed all three border cities whole.

It snapped its mouth shut with such speed that it sent a wave of turbulent air in every direction. It hit the barrier and didn't spread further into Eris' territory, but there were no such protections on the other side.

It hit August's border cities like a terrifying storm, destroying the walls entirely. If it wasn't for Valerie, Melania, and their people protecting the citizens inside, all of them would have died in that moment.

In the grand scheme of the war, it was nothing unexpected. Raphael was almost certainly going to fall in that moment and nothing could change that. 

Yet, the implications of that move were not small.
