Adonis Kingsbane stood before the swirling, prismatic portal of the cosmic web. He had promised his family a trip to visit the neighbors. He genuinely wanted to bring them along.
However, the moment he tore open the fabric of the multiverse, a terrifying wave of temporal radiation washed over the garden.
The portal was not a safe, quiet doorway. It was a violently spinning hurricane of shattered timelines and roaring cosmic pressure.
Mariana stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder. She looked at the raging portal and then looked at their six children. Ignis was hiding behind Claudia. Little Sylph was covering her ears from the deafening noise of the rift.
"Adonis," Mariana said with a very serious tone. "This is not a safe road. The dimensional pathways are collapsing. If we step inside, the temporal pressure might crush the children. They are strong, but they are not universal entities."
