"Who are—?!" Red shouted, summoning his interface.
The golden entity vanished from the pedestal and instantaneously reappeared directly behind the obsidian throne. He leaned over the glowing console to scan the active map grids with his solid gold eyes.
"I am at the right place, after all," the towering stranger stated, his multi-layered voice vibrating through the digital monitors.
Red spun around to face the intruder, sweeping his hand to pull up a defensive command. The entity vanished again and rematerialized in his original position.
Suddenly, a massive hand shot forward and wrapped completely around Red's throat.
The giant effortlessly lifted the Red off the floor. Standing nearly triple Red's height, the divine being easily suspended the struggling human in the empty space.
"Who are you, and how are you here?" the golden giant demanded, his flawless features twisting as he bared his perfectly white teeth. "Where is the God of this sanctuary?"
