Fifteen hest point, Dawn’s execution was underway

Clouds overhead began to shi+ft and twirl, capturing everyone’s attentionExpressions darkened as it dawned upon the Elysians that a sinister poas gathering

Light warped and clouds churned, creating a bizarre and disturbing spectacleThose on Sanctuary’s highest point felt it even more profoundlyThis wasn’t merely a disturbance in the at the fabric of reality

“Cloudhawk!”

Selene, Phain, Frost, Dawn and all the rest snapped to the presentThere was only one they kneho had the power to ree, and that was Cloudhawk

Arcturus and a number of other powerful demonhunters were seated in the square to witness Dawn’s executionThey looked up at the spiderweb of power snaking through the skyAs Arcturus peered at the scene, wrinkled deepened at the corners of his eyes

This… was not what he expectedSuch an immense display of powerHow?

Arcturus was not sure what method Cloudhawk had used, but the expression of power he witnessed far outstripped even his two younger brothersCloudhawk hadand Baldur – two Master Demonhunters

But Cloudhawk couldn’t really be that strongArcturus knew the dae he’d caused with RuinIt was impressive that Cloudhawk could launch an attack at all! Six months was simply too short a time for him to improve so dramatically

Conflict showed in Selene’s face as she stared up into the skyShe’d prepared herself for this moment, but a sense of sadness still persisted

So as this? Was it really possible a barbarian from the wastes could achieve such power? The power required to affect such a large swath of space had to be enormous beyond measure

“Be carefulThe shi+elds!” Ha rocks!”

After the fissure ripped the sky asunder, tu forth and s noiseThe shi+elds flickered bowed but recovered quicklyThe rebound force flung the rocks away

But that was just the beginning

Shocked eyes rose again to the black hole where– thousands of themA shower of boulders cascaded unto Sanctuary and the surrounding plainsThe world around them ash in the explosive sounds of impact

The din never easedIt sounded like the end of the world

Such a scene was impossible for anyone but a Master Dearrisoned forces shuddered to think what these building-sized rocks would do to the stronghold

What sort of demonhunter could command this level of power?
