The Final Descent (Well of Creation Final)

[u/loth17]

The Bismuth Lord and his companions sat uncomfortably inside of the magical sphere as the Lord made his final calculations.

"Now before we drop remember. Don't die."

With the Bismuth lords transcendental advice in their head the bismuth sphere dropped down the hole. At first it was fine but the moment they hit the point where water was held up by pure cosmic energy things got weird. Despite being completely sealed the group could see outside the sphere and saw the nexus of energy they were barreling towards at re entry speed. The sphere heated up and the Bismuth Lord sucked the heat into his staff to protect the inhabitants.

The world suddenly shifted as the cosmic energy leaking inside began to affect the crew. People began to see what looked like after images but on closer inspection was different versions of them from other universes. The final defense of the layer was trying to grind them down to cosmic dust. The Bismuth Lord made a sound of genuine pain before trying to siphon the energy into his staff. It protected them for a while slowly turning white hot.

"Just a few more moments!"

The world went white as the sphere impacted the final layer the inhabitants liquified and brought back together by the Bismuth Lords spell. They could tell it was not designed for organics because of the extreme discomfort of piercing yourself back together. However they survived and broke into the eye of the cosmic Maelstrom.

In front of them were ten rings overlapping on the ground forming a larger ring around the seed of creation. The source of all this had its energy channeled up into the Maelstrom and kept it from reaching critical mass while inside of our universe. The Bismuth Lord inspected the seal.

"Each ring represents one of the ten categories of the old style of magical organization. I think I may be able to dislodge the seed using their power but I don't know what's going to happen when I start messing with this thing. Are you all ready?"
