You find yourself staring, transfixed, at the glowing, crackling tear through reality that had suddenly appeared in your living room. The sight itself was enough to stop you dead in your tracks, but what lie inside the rift itself made even your heart stop. A writhing mass of what looked like coils of some alien material pressed against the rift's entrance, moving around in an almost trancelike, rhythmic motion. A bloodshot eye peered at you from the middle of this mass, full of hate and malice. The longer you looked, the more you felt your essence, your very soul, being sucked away from you...

With a sudden flash, it was all over. Your hair stood on end, the smell of ozone clogged your nostrils, the rift and whatever that monstrosity was now gone. The only thing left was a odd, scaly creature. A kobold. He seemed as confused as you were, looking around your apartment from where he was sat until he locked eyes with you, tilting his draconic head to look at you curiously.
