Victorious Genesis, who had been standing behind them with the particular stillness of a man holding an explosion for later, said,
"Who?"
Vraegar did not turn to answer. He kept his eyes on the window, on the realm beyond it, and on the specific and terrible geography of the place he had been trying to enter for the last three million Cosmic Eras, but he had been too weak to complete.
His friend had given his life to tear a path through nothingness, in the hope that Vraegar would be able to finish the task, but he could only stare at his target without the power to pierce through this damn void.
Finally, he replied to Victorious Silence's question,
"The first," he said. "The original Incarnation before the Origin Realms were created. The one Eos made to discover the power of End, before he understood the cost of that decision."
