the crush
The tunnel tightened.
Sah 's magic rippled through the earth like a slow exhale, stone groaning softly as it reshaped around them. Six feet became five. Then four. Then three. The weight of the island pressed down from above, squeezing them into a single-file crawlspace that felt less like a path and more like a throat, though it would allow them to progress further.
And then the earth screamed.
It was soundless—felt more than heard—as the floor in front of them ruptured, exploding outward in a geyser of shattered stone and violet mist. A gulf yawned open, fifteen feet across, jagged and smoking, cutting their path forward clean in two, and from below, the Mirewyrm rose.
Massive, hide-black, and shimmering with the glint of distant galaxies across its scales, it didn’t so much climb as unfurl, its spiralled maw opening across a skull that still bore no eyes. It didn’t need them. It knew.
The second it breached, its head turned—impossibly fast—and the spiral split wide. focused beam of voidlight blasted forward.
Hadama would only have enough time to look up before it struck, a brilliant lance of white-violet cutting through the tunnel and slamming directly into his chest. The blast lit the space like lightning, burning shadows into the walls, shaking dust from the ceiling. The impact hurled the Tidebreaker backward into Noah, armour scorched and useless against this, air ripped from his lungs as he slammed into the narrow stone behind him.

Mirewyrm (Rare): The Mirewyrm is a colossal void entity, vaguely serpentine and dragonlike, that tunnels through stone as though the rock were liquid. Its body is plated in black, semi-metallic scales that shimmer with deep-space reflections, constantly shifting and rearranging like something unfinished. It has no eyes, and its mouth opens sideways in a jagged, spiral maw—a gateway rather than a mouth, lined not with teeth, but with coiling tendrils of voidlight and gravity.
