"Great Bone Wall," Razeal whispered.
The moment the words left his mouth, the earth far beyond the battlefield trembled.
At first it was subtle a low vibration rolling beneath the ruined plains. Then suddenly the ground split open across the horizon, long fractures tearing through the battlefield in a massive circular line stretching farther than the eye could properly follow.
And then
Something began rising.
A gigantic wall erupted upward from beneath the earth itself, not built stone by stone, but growing violently out of the land as though some buried skeleton beneath the world had awakened. Ash-white structures pushed upward in enormous layered ridges, thick as fortress towers, locking together while dirt and shattered rock cascaded down their sides.
Everyone atop the wall froze watching it.
The structure did not stop.
