Stars dispersed upon the break of dawn, releasing hues of multicolored sunlight that attempted to chase away the night, though the night persisted to remain, lingering in darkness.

Not long after Mara returned to planet Iredescent in her Rose Wing spaceship and Irina left the Iredescent world via a portal to the Realisia world, the portal to the Realzemlan world appeared, flashing yellow as it materialized several distances from the Field of Stars.

Two figures emerged from the portal, revealing themselves as a man and a woman. The man was holding the woman's hand, keeping her close. His dark purple eyes scanned the Chatt-ruinian landscape cloaked in night. After a quick glance, the man froze the portal and walked forward, the woman walking close beside him.

Iren Blasik and Iriana Blaskevyana had arrived in the Iredescent world.

Traveling across dimensions taught Iren to always bring a warm stylish winter coat, to prepare for cold environments. Therefore, Iren and Iriana were dressed in warm stylish winter coats. Sapphire blue and metallic silver for Iren, lavish raspberry pink for Iriana.

Appearing exactly like the unknown man in the picture of Iriana, Iren's face revealed dark purple eyes, pale white porcelain skin, and thick dark brown hair reminiscent of mocha coffee. He walked daringly with no hesitation, expressing the likes of his egotistical confidence and superiority. He rarely smiled except when he was with Iriana or Éira.

Appearing exactly but not wearing the exact same clothing as in her self-portrait, Iriana's face was surrounded by tumbling long dark brown tresses. Her pale white porcelain skin gleamed in the Chatt-ruinian meadow like the reflection of Northern aurora borealis lights. Her crystal blue eyes were fixed trustingly on Iren, ignoring the icy coldness lurking behind his eyes.

Iren and Iriana were fluent in Russkya. Russkya was the main language spoken in the Realzemlan world, though people also spoke English, one of the familiar intergalactic languages. Iredescent was another intergalactic language.

Iriana reviewed the list of alternate selves with Iren, who answered each question accordingly, speaking in his Xsimr Russkya accent and verbally confirming the status of each alterself.

"Írásom Cvetkov?"

"Perished in her story."

"Irina Acai?"

"Hiding in the outrazar dimension."

"Eirena Irenairina?"

"Eliminated by my sword."

"Ireyna Roseshimmer Decuir?"

"Our next target."

"Éira Blask?"

"She is to be unharmed."

"How come?" Iriana inquired curiously.

"I have my reasons," Iren stated briskly.

"But you said – "

Iren silenced Iriana with a kiss, pressing his mouth firmly over her mouth. Soon, Iriana forgot everything except Iren's kiss, swept entirely in the euphoric feeling.

Iriana moaned quietly when Iren snapped her coat open and ran a hand up her sweater, gliding his hand over her smooth skin and touching underneath her white bra, teasing to make her want more, before he pulled away and left her in a state of hungry desire, but it wasn't to be satisfied until later, when he would procure a hotel room for the night.
