There were a couple of ways I could go about this.
One: leave it. Pretend none of this happened. Let the Leviathan float in whatever distorted space it had been exiled to. Hope they wouldn't take advantage of it in the chaos.
Two: try something reckless.
Hellflame was the thing that helped me navigate this far. It affected void directly. It even erased a part of the Riftmaw. Not enough to kill it, but it hurt.
So what if I used Brand? On the rift itself.
So far, nothing had ever withstood it. If it landed, it annihilated. Could it do the same here?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Or maybe I should just focus on the outpost. It had to be nearby, no way they kept something like this up here alone. It wouldn't make sense to retreat all the way back to base if they had to travel this far just to use it.
Still…
I moved closer. Slowly. Quietly.
I just needed to see it again. Feel it up close.
The Leviathan didn't react. Its eye remained open. Watching, but unmoving.
