A Greater Realm's Reach

In the vast stretches of space, there was a gigantic sea whose ends couldn't be seen.

It slumbered in silence, its dark waters could not even be touched by light stemming from the innumerable stars found around it. It was like an abyss swallowing all light.

Within its depths, an enormous palace was submerged. Its towering spies shimmered with an eerie glow, pulsing in tandem with the slow and steady breathing of something within.

At the heart of this grand palace that couldn't even be described as a palace due to its sheer size, a terrifying magical beast lay atop bedding woven from the bones and fur of massive magical beasts. Its titanic body sprawled across the chamber, each of its nine heads curled inwards, their massive eyes closed in a deathly stillness.

The flow of heaven and earth energy around it, filled with darkness and water attributes, had long settled, adapting to the beasts's extraordinary presence.
