When Maximilian brought down his blade, a vertical red line appeared on Elyndra and Iskandor's bodies from head to crotch. Beads of blood began to leak, and before they could realize it, their bodies were sliced in two and opened like a book split along its spine.
As their bodies began to fall, the permanently altered geography of the Western Continent was revealed behind them.
In front of Maximilian, the earth was split in two in an expanding V-shape that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Mountains, rivers, and even the clouds were obliterated by the attack, leaving a deep gash in the earth and in the blue sky above. Two thousand years later, in this deep carving left by Maximilian, the foundation of a colossal wall was laid. It was known by the name... Sentinel Line.
Thud!
