It seemed the world somehow sensed that the disappearance was monumental in scale deep magic spread throughout the land somehow was recoiling from this space now gaping open at the heart of the palace.

It was an omen to them—the unmistakable sign that balance was no longer on one's side, and by which fate was sealed into one kingdom.
