[Lunch Break]
The Cafeteria is bustling with energy--students chatting loudly, trays clattering, and the hum of everyday life filling the space. Void, Blaze and Seraphina sit at their table, deep in casual conversation. Blaze begins a lighthearted jab about Void's shadows when suddenly, the noise dies out. The chatter stops. Time itself freezes.
Void ling:
(Standing swiftly, his shadows trembling.)
" This isn't normal. Time has... stopped."
Blaze Vortex:
(Clenching his fists, his tone sharp.)
" And I thought my fire couldn't freeze
What's happening?"
Seraphina Nyx:
(Her spirals pulse brighter as she gazes into the frozen surroundings.)
"Something's done this. Not something natural-- it deliberate. I can feel it."
The trio's finds themselves standing on an expansive floating platform in an entirely different dimension. The sky above them pulses with shifting hues, and the ground beneath them glows with a liquid energy. Surrounding them is a crowd of silent figures each exuding a distinct aura of power.
Void ling:
(His shadows ripple)
" This isn't any ordinary place. They all radiate power-- each one commands a Domain. This dimension is alive with their energy... and we're at its center."
Blaze Vortex:
(Looking around, his voice tinged with frustration.)
" Yeah, I noticed. But why is everyone staring at us? We didn't ask to be here!"
Seraphina Nyx:
(Her spirals glow steadily as she surveys the crowd)
"They're watching. Waiting for something. This place... it's not just a dimension. It feels like a realm of domains
The crowd parts as four figures emerge. They walk with confidence and authority, their presence commanding the space. Its clear they aren't just part of the crowd-- they're it's leaders, the rulers of this dimension.
Revy: Draped in shimmering light, her aura radiates calm but unyielding power.
Nia: Her energy feels rooted and strong, her hair flowing like living vines.
Asuna: Crackling with energy, her cloak ripples with wind and lightning
Mae: Shrouded in flowing darkness, her aura exudes an elegant but ominous presence.
Mae:
(Stepping foward, her voice calm)
"So, these are the outsiders who have stumbled into the Domain Realm. How... peculiar."
Asuna:
(Her tone sharp and skeptical, lightning)
"They don't look like much. Are they're worth our time?"
Revy:
(Her gaze settles on the trio)
" They're not here by chance. Their presence is tied to something greater.. something we need to understand."
Nia:
(Her tone grounded and firm as her vines shift faintly)
" Outsiders, speak. Why have you intruded into this realm? The Domain doesn't welcome strangers lightly."
The trio exchange glances, their confusion matching the tension in the air. Void ling steps foward, his shadows swirling cautiously as he addresses the four leaders.
Void ling:
(His tone calm and steady.)
"We didn't come here willingly. Time stopped in our world, and we were pulled here against our will. If you think we're intruders, you're mistaken. But if this place is tied to domains, then maybe you summoned us for a reason."
Asuna:
(Lightning crackles faintly around her as she smirks.)
" One is a void wielder, a flame bearer, and ... a balancer of energy. None of you fit neatly into the domains we know."
(She gestures towards Void ling)
"Especially you, Void. The Void isn't a domain-- it's something else entirely. Tell me, what exactly is your power?"
Void ling pauses for a moment, considering his words carefully. His shadows ripple softly around him as he answers, his tone calm but resolute.
Void ling:
" What exactly is my power" I don't really know."
Asuna:
"I thought so"
Revy, who has been silently watching the exchange, tilts her head Slightly, her glowing presence radiating warmth yet sharp intelligence.
Revy:
" Intresting... You speak of restraint as if it's a virtue. But in a realm like this, restraint might just make you weak. Power here isn't about holding back-- it's Blut what you're willing to risk to achieve greatness."
Nia:
(Her tone steady)
"Enough, Revy. His understanding of this realm is meaningless.
Before Void can respond, Mae interjects, her gaze shifting between him and Nyx. Her voice carries a teasing lilt, through her expression remains thoughtful.
Mae:
(Smirking faintly)
"Void you speak of balance and restraint. But what about her? Is she your balance? Your girlfriend,perhaps?"
Seraphina Nyx:
(Blushing, her tone defensive.)
"What? No! I mean-- Void and I are allies, nothing more."
Void ling:
(Raising an eyebrow)
"Nyx is my ally. She's strong, reliable, and invaluable in battle. But no, she's not my girlfriend."
Blaze Vortex:
(His flames igniting briefly )
" Nyx is Void friend, nothing more!"
Mae:
(Chuckling softly)
"Relax, it's was just an observation. But the way your energies align-- it rare to see such harmony between allies. Perhaps there's more to it than either of you realize."
Nyx glances at Void briefly, her spirals glowing slightly brighter, though she remains, quiet.
Blaze Vortex:
(His tone bold, with a hint of curiosity.)
"So what you are saying? That we're stronger because we stick together? Trust me, We are stronger than you think.
Mae:
(Smirking faintly)
" Confidence is charming, flame boy. But arrogance get crushed here. What's you take on this bond Void?
Void ling:
"Our bond isn't a matter of power-- it's a matter of trust. Trust make us effective more than anything else. That's the foundation of why we fighting together and why we survive."
Revy nods slightly, her expression thoughtful as she speaks again.
Revy:
"You speak well, Void but words only carry so much weight here. Trust and power are tested constantly in the Realm.
Nia:
(Her tone carries finality as she speaks.)
"Enough!!", there's no point in this back and forth. The Realm doesn't thrive on words-it thrives on action. And you three..." will have your chance to prove yourselves soon enough."
Seraphina Nyx:
"What do you mean? Prove ourselves how?
Nia doesn't answer immediately. Instead,she turns to face the crowd. Her voice rising with a commanding tone that reverberates through the realm
Nia:
"THE GRAND CONVERGENCE" begins tomorrow! A battle where the most powerful beings across the dimensions are gather to test their strengths their resolve and their alliances. It is more than a fight --it is a declaration of power!" , You will participate. As outsiders you will have to earn your place here-- or risk being erased from the realm"
Blaze Vortex:
Erased? Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?
Revy:
"It's not a threat-- it's a fact. The realm doesn't welcome weakness. Survive the Convergence, and you will gain more than just respect.
Blazs glances at Void and Nyx , a grin forming as his flames flare briefly.
Blaze Vortex:
"Sounds like a party. How about you two?
Seraphina Nyx:
"We don't have a choice, Blaze. But we've faced worse before. We'll fight, and we'll survive. Together."
Void ling:
"Together"
