The creature's fire actually burned away the shadow, taking on the properties creating a new kind of fire. Aserical Shadow Fire, mixed with the strange flesh fire, it burn through the powerful shields of the fleet as if it was made of paper. You see, whatever this creature was, it was more powerful than the shadow and the shield combined. As the shields burned away, the creature of indefinite shape disappeared. Something was wrong... very wrong. Considering a goodly amount of each kind of rare element or particle disappeared with it... almost as if something was taking samples.
Many sigils around the local air space began to glow, surrounded by an odd energy. Only to expand into a number of artificial stars, created by these sigils. In moment these stars would coalesce into one rapid expanding star, threatening to engulf the gas giant in its inferno.
Where the creature had been, a ting sapling of a tree remained. Strange that it was not crushed by the creature's talons. Throughout the local system, a chanting could be heard from an unknown source.
"From the light of betrayal
In the name of fairness
We were crossed
With what remains
We shall fight.
Allow creations to rend these traitors
Without anything by a single seed
As our weapon."
That was Post #4. As of that post Sliph was not there.
Post #9 contains Nik's character "touching" Sliph. You cannot touch what is not there. Sliph was gone before he posted that attempt.
