THE Beholder had observed existence since before differentiation taught reality how to have boundaries.
He watched a portion of THE First Cause unfold when potential became actual and the endless sea first learned to flow in directions that could be named. He witnessed the emergence of Primordial Architects from the intersection of what was and what was not. He perceived a portion of the birth of Observable Existence itself, that grand experiment in structured being that had persisted across cycles beyond counting.
In all that observation, across all those eons of simply watching without acting, he had never witnessed anything quite as grand...until now.
Some he understood the name of as soon as he saw it.
The Pluvial Epoch of Existential Infinity.
He didnt know where it began, but it began with endless drops. Those initial drops became streams. Streams became rivers. Rivers became floods that could not be contained by any boundary mortal minds had constructed.
