There was a flash of pale light and then an explosion followed, it's shockwaves spanning for several miles.
The source of the flash, a deranged woman in a blue dress and wearing a lot of jewelry, grinned as she stared at the sight ahead obscured by a towering dust cloud.
With a wide grin, she inquired. "Did you like that, my Lord?... Was that a brilliant display?"
She squealed in excitement seconds later as though someone had responded to her question though the only sound that persisted in this desolate landscape was the sound of the earth cooling after the disastrous attack.
However, her excitement was short lived as she watched as the dust cloud cleared only to reveal a transparent shroud that resembled a woman's scarf, albeit large enough to cover the entirety of the outpost.
The woman's expression shifted as her gaze pierced through the shroud to land on the man on the other end.
