Michael didn't know what was going on when the weave stirred, but he noticed a subtle change in his surroundings.
The weave breached the defenses created by the Gods and attacked him. No, that wasn't the right word. It didn't attack him. The weave was trying to tell him something.
It consumed a shocking amount of Essence to breach the defenses and invade the Beginning with a stream of golden glowing Essences. Michael noticed the breach first and was about to call out when he noticed that the breach had been repaired…by the will. Instead of breaking through the defenses of the Gods once and for all to flood the Beginning with its Essence, the weave blocked itself. It ensured the Beginning wouldn't contain more Essence than necessary.
Necessary for what? That was something Michael had yet to find out.
The golden glowing Essences created by the weave were the solution. Or so Michael hoped.
