I flew around and farther away from the column of smoke, and after flying half a circle around it, stopped to hover near Farini's shoulder. Not only this made us look like a united front to all the onlookers, the new position was also far enough away that I could see the smoke figure fully, not just separate pieces.
It was a few hundreds meters tall projection of Dalmanrach, which was weird to see—the last time we met face to face, it was in the realm where everybody was the same size.
Now he towered over humans and over me, and his "body" was dark and half-transparent. The bird's head was still very recognizable, and on it, two eyes shone with unnatural white light.
No wonder people were awed. I felt awed myself, although I knew that this was just a parlor trick compared to what gods could actually do.
Then, I heard noises from outside—gasps and shouts. They calmed down quickly, though—and I got a report from the Agents positioned there.
