Violet thunder roared in the sky above them, sending lightning crackling haphazardly across the once-peaceful veil of night.

The portal that had been opening gradually suddenly expanded with astronomical violence.
The growth was so rapid and massive that a small town could fit through it. The sight was both mesmerizing in its own way and utterly terrifying.
Through the violet swirling vortex of the portal, they could see nothing, as they were unable to see through it, making them tense up increasingly.
