Broken had forgotten to ask Cecilia earlier—but thankfully, she spoke before he even needed to.
"Master…" she said gently. "Yes… I can open access to the island for anyone you permit, as long as they are physically close to the island itself."
Broken turned to her, a slow grin spreading across his face.
The possibilities. The control. The significance of it all. It was… incredible.
"Then yes," he said. "Please, let them in."
Out beyond the protective barrier, SexyGrill and SexyBloom paused mid-air, their expressions shifting as they received the message. A moment later, they slowly floated closer, cautiously scanning the barrier, glancing down at the lake and the glowing tree at its center.
Then they flew closer and landed just beside Broken, both looking around in quiet awe.
"Woah…" SexyGrill breathed. "What kind of dream did I have to finally step onto this island?"
SexyBloom responded softly. "Grill… don't forget the real reason we came here."
