As others have stated, it's buggy. I got stuck on the part "Pursue the Beast," nothing was happening.
Flew slightly out of the quest area and back in after a few seconds, and it registered for Alleria to create the portal for the next part.

Description
These void beasts are elusive, able to open temporary void portals that they can use to move short distances instantaneously. They may be beneath Turalyon's notice, but they're having devastating effects on the Vanguard's morale. Between the two of us, I'm confident we can outmaneuver them.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Night Before
Vicious voidbeasts have been snatching our officers, <name>. I've been told that you saw one from afar, through Umbric's void scryer. Those beasts are steeped in void energy, using their instinctual mastery of teleportation to strike at our most vulnerable before melting back into the shadows.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Killing Blow
I heard about these beasts, but I thought it was a rumor. Void creatures appearing out of void portals, kidnapping and eating our officers... sounds like a load of bunk. I never thought it'd happen to me. There was a big one that got me, but he ran off.
