A flash of ultra-violet, then darkness. Out of the darkness glows a nexus of power. It pulses with energy. Black, yellow, pink, black, yellow, pink. An unchanging rythym of blinding extremities. The figure moves. It doesn't seem to take steps, but hovers. There are no sounds to be heard from miles around. All are silent, watching, waiting.
The figure comes to the edge of a crater, a crater created by its forthcoming. As it floats past the boundary, the nexus vanishes, but it keeps moving, shrouded in shadows.
There is another flash of ultra-violet light. Another figure rises from the dark. A nexus, similar to the previous figure's, surrounds the new stranger. It comes forth to the edge of the crater, the nexus vanises, and keeps moving, mimicking first figure's exact path.
Ten more figures descend to earth. Ten more figures pulse with blinding auras. Ten more figures come and go to and from the edge of the crater. Then...
Nothing, for a long while. All the people start to chatter, assuming everything is over. They begin to leave the crater. Foolish humans.
CRACK!
As one, the assembled commoners turn to look back at the crater. A stunned silence consumes the crowd.
The crater is deeper, the darkness darker. Ascending forth from said crater comes a being unlike the twelve before it. Its nexus pulses beautifully. Emerald, saphire, opal, ruby, amethyst. It levitated to the tops of the highest trees then drifted slowly to the innermost edge of the crater. It floats over, but its nexus did not disappear. It stepped forward towards the crowd. It spoke.
"I...am...here."
