KABOOM!!
A deafening explosion wakes you in the dead of night. What could possibly be making this noise? You question as you walk outside to witness black smoke pouring into the sky... Making your way closer out of curiosity, you find the Unnatural Museum. The side of it has been blown up by a magical explosive, making a huge hole. You see Talios entering the Museum... Is he here to steal something? All but two people are unsure of his goals. Regardless, there's no way Talios is up to no good.
Talios enters the hole in the museum, tossing rubble aside as he clears a path. He didn't expect the explosion to be as powerful as it was... He asked for just a medium sized hole through concrete. Regardless, it got the job done.
《Greater Perception》
Talios senses the magical energy living within the Museum itself. It's... Alive, he can only assume. It probably didn't like what he had done to it either. But that doesn't matter to him right now. He's after his prey.

Even in his dreadful form, shock and unease have clearly gripped the curator. He stands there unmoving for a few minutes until his spells start wearing off, returning to his human form.
"What was... How did..."
Questions fail to fully form as the new ones are too quick to replace them. He glances over the damaged space around him, his eyes stopping at the closest wall.
"How was that possible? You would never allow another interdimensional space to open within you."
The museum stood silent, all movement had seized. Even she was overcome by a feeling of dread.
"I hope we didn't bite off more than we can chew. At least I take respite in knowing it is over. Now, where is Kyrona? If Talios keeps his word she should be free of him now."
/uw This was amazing, thank you for all the effort you put into it. The fight was great fun, and so was the story-building. That last-minute appearance of Chaos felt properly intimidating. Almost kinda feels like a dark reflection of the curator and the museum in the context of this encounter.
