"It's time."

A gruff voice cut through the silent space around Ailis.

She felt my fingertips warming and her arms dropped down by her side. A sleek, silvery, crystal armor wrapped around her legs, creating a beautiful clanking sound of metal and Ailis opened her eyes, her brilliant violet eyes meeting her father's dark purple ones.

"Go ahead," he said, his gaze going far into the cloudy distance.

Lumina linked her arm with Liora and smiled at her, "Ready?" she was the one that could travel between life and death, Caius had saved her from her fate, he had broken her connection with Bhunivelze and now Lumina would lead the chosen dead to the modern world.

Ailis inhaled deeply, nodded, and floated up to Yeul, who hovering above her, staring down meaninglessly.

"You are ready to be released into the New World," Yeul's delicate high voice announced, her slim fingers wrapped around Ailis's wrists, "Permission is requested."

"Permission is given," the remaining Yeuls' whispered, the sound of bells echoed across the empty dark unseen realm.

"Caius?"

My father lifted his head of dark hair and stared at Yeul, "Permission is given."

"I'll lead her," Lumina said quietly and brushed her soft rose-colored hair out of her face.

Yeul's hands turned cold as they gripped Ailis's wrist harder and she felt light enter her body. She was lifted higher into the air and Yeul let go of her hands gently. Caius and the Yeuls shrank underneath Ailis and Lumina as they rose toward the light. The forbidden place where the dead would live. The place where Bhunivelze would wake up to destroy and soon enough, her sisters would be in danger.
