Grand tapestry of existence, there came a moment of profound and celestial significance—a moment that reverberated through the cosmos, unbeknownst to the inhabitants of the mortal realm. Billions of eyes from countless corners of the universe gazed upon the same enigmatic spectacle, their collective wonder shared by beings whose lives were entwined with the very fabric of creation.
At the center of their collective gaze, the heavens erupted in a blaze of emerald fire. A green flash, both mesmerizing and inscrutable, burst forth from the cosmic abyss, its radiance casting a pallor of awe upon those who beheld it. Stars paled in comparison, galaxies bowed in subservience, and even the most magnificent celestial phenomena grew dim before the verdant conflagration.
Celestial observers, denizens of realms beyond the earthly confines, beheld this event with a mixture of reverence and dread. In far-flung galaxies, ethereal beings observed the flash from their sanctuaries amongst the celestial spheres, their divine or sinister intentions shrouded in secrecy. In alien worlds, species who had never known the touch of mortality regarded the spectacle with awe, their collective consciousness united in a moment of cosmic communion.
In the hearts of these celestial onlookers, an ominous understanding began to coalesce. They sensed the arrival of an entity as ancient as the cosmos itself, a being whose presence had once been relegated to the distant echoes of legend. It was not merely a light show, but a herald, a harbinger of cataclysmic change—an arrival foretold only in the murkiest of cosmic prophecies.
As the green flash pulsed and shivered with an eerie luminosity, the realization dawned upon those who watched from their celestial perches. Novoikor, long imprisoned beyond the mortal veil, had torn asunder the boundaries of existence and now encroached upon the material world. Its malevolent presence had breached the threshold of human understanding.
The universe held its breath, for what awaited the denizens of the earthly realm was a fate that transcended mortal comprehension. The green flash, an omen of cosmic upheaval, beckoned forth the Goat of a Thousand Eyes, a lord whose reign of terror would rewrite the annals of mortal existence. The celestial observers, distant and divine, knew that their own destinies were bound to the cataclysm now unfurling.

The Arrival of The Green Flash Overhead
Upon the mortal plane, where the limits of comprehension bend and fracture, a tale of unparalleled malevolence unfolded—a narrative echoing with the cosmic undertones that dance within the abyss. In a time long past, the firmament hung heavy with an ethereal pallor, and mankind, blissfully unaware, trod upon the fragile earth.
Amidst the cobbled streets of a forgotten hamlet, an uncanny occurrence stirred the hearts of the townsfolk. A verdant luminosity, rare and unexplained, pierced the evening sky—a green flash, luminous and resplendent, as though a fragment of the empyrean itself had been torn asunder. An eerie calm descended upon the settlement, foreboding seeping into the souls of all who bore witness.
This celestial display, a beacon in the dark, beckoned forth countless onlookers, drawing them to the town square where they gazed in awe, oblivious to the impending calamity. The heavens themselves seemed to weep, stars obscured by the wondrous and terrible display, their tears falling like ethereal rain upon the earth.
In the presence of the uncanny light, the air grew heavy, electrified with an enigmatic resonance that penetrated the very marrow of existence. As the green flash continued its mesmerizing dance, those who gathered in the town square felt the boundaries of their sanity fray and unravel, like ancient parchment forgotten in a forgotten library.
An unsettling realization gripped the hearts of the townsfolk—an understanding that they had become witnesses to a harbinger of the extraordinary. The dread and awe that had descended upon them were but an overture to a tragedy they could scarcely imagine. The cosmic fabric, once held taut, had begun to unfurl, revealing the arrival of an entity of untold malevolence.
And there, as the green flash culminated in a final, searing crescendo, its brilliant emerald light bathing the hapless souls below, Novoikor, the Goat of a Thousand Eyes, took its first steps into the realm of mankind. An entity beyond description and a harbinger of unfathomable horrors, it had woven its shadowy presence into the very threads of existence.
In the wake of its arrival, the town square became an altar of despair, a stage where humanity's fragile grasp on reality crumbled. The closing of the cosmic curtain had ushered in a new era, one tainted by the dreadful reign of Novoikor—a lord whose dominion knew no bounds, and whose malevolence transcended mortal understanding.
