Vhilver stood there, looking at Arven who was slowly losing his mind. She moved closer to him and softly said to him "Arven... Calm down". When she was in the middle of the room, the room suddenly got longer, making the gap between her and Arven much bigger. "Arven? What are you doing?" Vhilver stammered as she began running towards him but the gap was getting bigger and bigger. Arven stood there with his fist clenched, his eyes blinded by anger and hatred. "I did not do anything wrong, Arven! Stop this!" Vhilver yelled at Arven who was slowly turning around. Vhilver tried teleporting to Arven but it only sent her flying back. She was confused about what was happening and kept on trying to get to Arven. She stopped running and created a wall behind her, then she had both of her feet on the wall. She bent her knees and charged up, after that she released all the energy, making her fly towards Arven. She was getting closer and closer to him. But then, she saw him using the ancient relic, zhvien arkhavan to do whatever he was doing right now for no reason. Arven punched the wall that he was facing and it opened a portal back to The Realm of Reality. Before Vhilver could reach Arven, he already went to the portal and closed it. Vhilver was already so close to where Arven was but she couldn't stop him for some reason. "Who are you, Arven...?" Vhilver said to herself as she stood there looking at the crack on the wall Arven left after closing the portal.
Meanwhile on the other side, a group called "Lvhe Gharvn" (The Shards) was trying to find Ien who was gone. Lvhe Gharvn has 10 members who possesses powers like the Immortals, but they are different. They went through a near death experience and were granted powers by the unconsciousness of Reality to defend themselves. The group got into pairs and split up to search all over the gigantic kingdom. Jher and Tyven were searching near the entrance of the kingdom. "What if Sir Ien was kidnapped and was taken somewhere?" Tyven asked. Jher looked annoyed and answered his question "You already asked me that question 15 times, Jher... Now won't you just shut-". Before he could continue his sentence, the both of them got startled as a crack formed at the entrance of the Kingdom. It was white and it seemed to grow longer. Then suddenly the crack opened, Jher and Tyven almost fell since the crack made a noise like an explosion as it opened up. The crack was now like a portal with a radiant white border, and its core churning with a hypnotic dark purple aura, like it was drawing a distant galaxy. Even though it was a beautiful sight, the portal then unleashed a powerful torrent of wind, making it difficult for Jher, Tyven, and the commoners to stand still. Because of what was happening, the guards were instantly alerted and evacuated the commoners. Then a figure could be seen in the portal, slowly walking closer and closer to the portal. Their cape was flowing as if there was no gravity there and their movement was graceful yet terrifying. When the figure reached the portal, they couldn't get out so they raised their arm and summoned a spear and started stabbing the portal so they could get out. Jher and Tyven then summoned their own weapons and tried to stand still in the powerful wind current the portal was creating. Hundreds of soldiers stood with them and would do anything to protect the Kingdom. "This is pretty scary don't you think?" Jher asked another stupid question at Tyven. "Oh for the love of Aerchn, would you stop talking when we have an unknown threat in front of us?" Tyven spoke through gritted teeth, each word dripping with exasperation. With one last blow from the unknown figure's spear, the invisible force that prevented them from going out from the portal was shattered and the torrent of wind halted, and everything went silent. The silence was intense, making a single ant's step sound like a deafening scream from a monster.
The figure stepped out and everyone was shocked that it was Arven. A commander stepped up and before she could speak, Arven silenced her. Arven looked like he was the embodiment of rage itself. His crown that was golden is now darker in color, his cape grew longer, his shoulder pads are now red, and the spear he was holding was actually Zhvien arkhavan. Jher, Tyven, the soldiers, and the commoners looked terrified. As Arven's rage escalated in an uncanny favor, his skin turned to a deep, ominous red. Then a blinding white smoke erupted around him, making Arven can't be seen. Everyone around him stepped back but Jher and Tyven stood in place. The white smoke then slowly turned to the color of Arven's skin, as if his body melted and became one with the smoke. After that the smoke flew up to the air, leaving a massive explosion from where it was. The smoke then headed to the castle, and when it reached Arven's chamber, the smoke barged in through the window. Because of the explosion the smoke caused, everyone around went flying back. Jher and Tyven quickly channeled energy to use their magic so they wouldn't get hurt. Jher has the power of Gale Stone which he can create stones of wind that can make him glide around or become heavier and denser on command. Tyven had the power of Volcanic Glass which can create smooth, hot, and reflective glass that gets incredibly dense on impact or on his command. Jher surrounds himself with a dense layer of gale stone to protect himself from the explosion. This layer was dark blue, heavy, dense, and had veins of storms on the surface. Since the explosion made a powerful vortex of an unknown magic, Jher casted another layer of magic around the first layer. This layer was lighter in color and weight than the first layer, it was also liquid like with a soft pulsating light that seems to absorb the energy of the explosion. On the other hand, Tyven transformed his feet into volcanic glass that blended with the ground below him. He also casted a protective shield from volcanic glass that absorbed the heat caused by the explosion. The volcanic glass got extremely dense and heavy, making him not move a single centimeter. The both of them also casted a protective spell around the guards and commoners that was affected from the explosion. The people who were sent flying from the explosion got Jher's shield and the people who were still on the ground got Tyven's shield. After it got silent, Jher and Tyven deactivated their shields around themselves and the people that were near the explosion. "Is something wrong with Arven?" Jher asked. "I've never seen him in that state before... He's always so cheerful on the outside and the inside. Whatever happened to him or whatever he saw, must be bad" Tyven answered. Jher and Tyven were exhausted, and the people around were terrified. Some got slightly hurt and some got extremely hurt. The people were panicking as some nearly died. The explosion got the attention of nearly half of the kingdom and Krn, one of the members of The Shard. She quickly got to the explosion site and began using her healing powers to treat the wounded. Krn, Jher, and Tyven glanced at the entrance of the Kingdom that still has the portal and two gigantic slender hands came out of the portal.
"Arven...
Aerchn...
The Shards...
The Demon...
Can I interfere with them?
Can I help them?
Can I stop this?
No...
Even though I have the power
It is not the right moment
Even though I have the authority
It is not right to use it now
Reality...
Where are you now?
Come to your Kingdom
And help your people"
