Having made their way to the 'end', the two Main Characters were stunned by the sight that lay before them.
The 'wall' that contained the 'water' that the being swum within seemed to clear out, becoming semi-translucent instead of mostly opaque.
The sight that lay before them seemed to transcend their way of thinking.
Dietrich felt like he'd been abruptly submerged within a pool of ice-cold water, chilling him to the bone.
For a long but brief moment, his mind just couldn't handle the sudden sight that lay before them, and his entire thought process stalled for a long moment.
Being confronted with something that was vastly out of line with his original worldviews, Dietrich almost wanted to reject it, but instead looked coolly at the being that lay before them.
Where before, Tatiana and himself had been thinking about just what it could be, when its form was revealed to them, Dietrich felt as if he wasn't able to accept it.
But even if he didn't, he didn't have a choice but to accept it. After all, this was reality and not a dream where he could live in his own delusions.
It was something that didn't belong on Incantix, now he was sure.
It was something that didn't belong to their world, but something from far beyond instead.
Even if they were in a crack between realms, that didn't necessarily mean that what they found here wasn't in their original realm, but when Dietrich looked at this, he knew.
There was no other way to describe it other than some kind of space beast.
Its form was both tangible and intangible at once, and the effects of the 'wall' that they hid behind was both stronger and weaker at once.
This entire place was a living mass of contradictions that co-existed together that left him reeling.
The space beast was a humungous, hulking creature. Yet, even when it seemed too large and clumsy, there was a certain elegance to it as well. There were parts that had scales, and parts that were completely smooth.
There was a strange dichotomy from the space beast. At once, it appeared like something that a six-year-old drew, while at the same time, like it was the greatest work of art that a master painter had produced.
It was only now that they realized they were wrong about their speculations that the space beast was swimming in any sort of water.
Instead, beyond the wall, all they could see was a faint, consuming darkness that seemed to suck in all light.
If it wasn't for the fact that the space beast gave off light, they wouldn't have been able to see it in the first place.
But the most striking thing about it was the orange eyes. Just one look into them made them feel like their soul was shaken, as if they recognized a predator before them.
The pressure that they felt from the space beast was overwhelming indeed, but it was just that. While it was overwhelming, he wasn't, in fact, overwhelmed by it. He wasn't forced to the floor, his body unable to handle the pressure.
Dietrich suspected that it was the presence of the wall that allowed them to keep upright. The feeling of its presence was vast and terrible, yet no matter how the orange eyes glared at them, Tatiana and Dietrich didn't feel their fight or flight reflex kick in.
Instead, they were able to glance and study it calmly, which seemed to enrage the space beast.
With a muffled roar, the space beast snarled, slamming its body hard on the 'wall'.
Further enraged that it wasn't able to break it, the beast slammed a scaly claw on the wall, but the wall held strong.
The space beast turned its head, its eyes staring directly into theirs.
Its wide mouth parted, revealing rows upon rows of sharp, jagged teeth.
Tatiana sneered, baring her own teeth at the space beast in a mockery of what it was doing, startling a laugh out of Dietrich.
She kept surprising him every time.
The space beast snarled, but all they felt was the faint vibrations.
Had it not been for this wall, they wouldn't likely be alive right now.
The space beast narrowed its eyes at them, and the lights that previously surrounded them dimmed together with the closure of the space beast's eyes, leaving them in darkness once they were fully closed.
Dietrich felt the back of his neck prickle when the space beast's presence completely disappeared the moment it closed its eyes.
Somehow, that was more threatening than if it had thrown around its presence left and right.
It was already unseen in the darkness of space, but its presence was also hidden.
What Dietrich couldn't fathom was how the 'wall' wasn't breaking, and what it was made out of.
But this stank of a plan.
Why was it able to keep the space beast out, and even come out unscathed?
If Dietrich had to make a guess, the space beast should at least be a rank six beast, able to contend with the superpowers of the planet.
Space…
That was something that was only talked about in the legends.
He'd barely been able to find anything regarding it in the Rothschild library, and their collection was extensive and wide.
It had been something he'd been interested in for the longest time, but he could never find much mention of it.
He didn't know if it was because previous history was being covered up, or if the information had just faded away due to the ravages of time, but –
Tatiana broke his train of thought. "Let's go. I'm sure the mercenaries are coming this way already."
Both of them ran back the way they came from, stopping the incoming group of mercenaries about two thirds of the way back.
Tatiana shone her torch, using a code between them.
The mercenaries stopped their tracks and backed up, satisfied that their boss was safe for now.
Now that they'd managed to send the mercenaries back, Dietrich and Tatiana slowed to a walk, both thinking about things.
All this time, they were still holding hands.
Tatiana looked at their joined hands and very obviously didn't mention it, while Dietrich was trying to think back about the information he'd read about space.
Clearly, there were dangers there that their planet didn't know about, nor have any defence against.
What if… what if they attacked Incantix?
What would happen to them then?
Tatiana herself was discomforted by the presence of the space beast.
She wasn't able to tell whether or not it was following them, which was more disconcerting than she thought. Since young, she'd specifically trained in tracking, and she had confidence in that specified area, but the space beast…
She totally couldn't feel it at all once it hid its presence.
She frowned.
Suddenly, the urge to grow stronger quicker manifested again. It had died briefly when she learnt that her clan was indeed safe and sound, but with the presence of the space beast, it had come back stronger than before.

The dangers that lurked were unseen, and determination burned within Tatiana, such that she unconsciously gripped Dietrich's hand tighter, drawing his attention.
Dietrich smiled and squeezed back lightly, getting a smile with hidden intentions in return, though he couldn't see it.
