A massive shape tore through the clouds from above and hit the descending behemoth before it could complete its dive.
The impact was enormous. The sound of the collision reached the ground a half second after the visual did and it rolled across Frostveil like a shockwave, deep and heavy and physical enough that people felt it in their chests rather than just hearing it with their ears.
The behemoth that had been dropping toward the town with its full weight was caught mid-descent, gripped by something larger and stronger than itself, and driven downward with a force that had nothing gentle in it. It hit the ground outside the outer wall and the earth cracked and buckled under the impact, sending a spray of soil and rock outward in all directions.
Everything stopped.
