June's heart pounded as she stared at the intricate symbols and diagrams Kellin had drawn on the floor of her dream. They were poised to attempt a risky ritual, one that could potentially bridge the gap between their two realities and allow them to be together. After countless nights spent exploring the nature of their connection, the time had come to take the biggest leap of faith.
"Are you sure about this?" June asked, her voice trembling with a mixture of fear and anticipation.
Kellin reached out and grasped her hands, his eyes shining with unwavering determination. "I've never been more certain of anything in my life, June. We've come too far to turn back now."
Nodding, June took a deep breath and steadied herself. She knew the stakes were high, but something deep within her yearned for the chance to be with Kellin in the same universe, to make their cosmic bond a tangible reality.
Kellin guided June to the center of the intricate pattern, and they assumed their positions, facing each other. "Remember, we must stay focused and channel our energy through the dreamscape. Any wavering could have disastrous consequences."
June gave him a reassuring nod, her fingers interlacing with his as they began to recite the ancient incantation Kellin had uncovered. The air around them crackled with energy, and June could feel the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.
As the words reverberated through the dreamscape, June felt a shift in the very fabric of reality. The dreamscape began to distort and warp, the boundaries between the two worlds blurring. Kellin's grip tightened, and June knew they were reaching a critical juncture.
Suddenly, a blinding light flashed, and June felt a sensation of being pulled in two directions at once. She cried out, her voice mingling with Kellin's as they both struggled to maintain their focus. The air grew heavy with a palpable sense of tension, and June could feel her heart pounding in her ears.
Just as she thought she might lose her grip on the ritual, a powerful force surged through her, and she felt a connection to something beyond the confines of her dream. It was as if the very universe was guiding her, urging her to hold on.
Kellin's eyes widened, and June knew he felt it too. They redoubled their efforts, pouring every ounce of their energy into the ritual. The dreamscape began to twist and distort, colors swirling and merging in a dizzying display.
June's vision blurred, and for a moment, she thought she might lose consciousness. But she refused to give in, driven by an overwhelming desire to be with Kellin, to defy the boundaries that separated them.
As the ritual reached its climax, June felt a sensation of weightlessness, as if she were being lifted from the dreamscape altogether. Kellin's grip tightened, and she knew they were in this together, come what may.
The world around them erupted in a cacophony of sound and light, and June braced herself for the unknown. In the midst of the chaos, she caught a glimpse of Kellin's face, his eyes shining with a mix of fear and determination. " I love you June Darkridge, always will, always have." Kellin screamed before disappearing into a dark smoke.
The forces got stronger and June couldn't see Kellin anymore. Just when June thought she might be torn apart, the energy reached a fever pitch, and everything went black.
