The Conductor

Steven stood shock still, gaping in terror towards the keep. For him to sense it at this distance, a tremendous quantity of rift energy was being drawn in the keep. Nobody living could conduct so much without disastrous results. He spurred Morningglory onward, rushing towards the keep. His long coat streamed behind him, his wide-brimmed hat bouncing, held by the cord across his neck. Dread filled him as he passed the walls of the keep, the power showed no signs of abating. No matter who or what the source, it was likely the most dangerous thing Steven had ever encountered.
