The Grand Assembly Chamber of the Cosmic Council stretched beyond the boundaries of conventional space, its crystalline walls pulsing with veins of emerald light that seemed to flicker with increasing uncertainty. Seventeen beings of immeasurable authority materialized within the dimensional convergence, their forms casting shadows that moved independently of their physical presence—shadows that whispered of powers that transcended the established frameworks of reality.
High Councilor Zara materialized first, her consciousness manifesting in a cascade of silver light that immediately began to analyze the structural anomalies in the chamber itself. Her enhanced awareness detected the subtle wrongness that permeated everything—the way the very air seemed to forget how to maintain consistent density, the manner in which the dimensional anchors struggled to remember their purpose.
The Originless were affecting even this sacred space.
