Mirrors of impossible size hovered in the sky, each depicting a different site. Inside them, surrounded by stars, pathways squirmed and moved. As if gazing through windows on a submersible, we observed unseen the dwellers of those places beyond places, confidant in their obliviousness of our prying eyes.

Suddenly, above us in an eclipse of multiple glass panes, a shattering sound pierced the veil and a part of the living mass separated from its whole as if cut off by some unseen hand. It slammed into the floor where we stood, spreading viscera in all directions. A familiar name written in blood glittered on a shard of broken mirror.

In our confusion and disbelief, an eldritch terror unravelled its massive form, and reached for us with malignant will.
