The outer seal of the astral gate is where Vhilver lives, all alone. It's pitch black and cold. The outer seal was closer to the void more than the realm of Reality. It was also -509,722 degrees celsius. Vhilver was doing her normal patrol around the outer layer of the astral gate, to make sure no anomalies from the void got in. Vhilver was still shocked from her meeting with Arven. Arven's anger made the outer layer of the astral gate even bigger but also stronger. The Realm of Reality was perfectly on the north west side from the main Universe and that was the most dangerous place. As Vhilver was wandering around, she heard a loud thud. She flew closer towards the north west side of the ring and the thud became louder. Then she saw where that noise was coming from. A shimmer of light pulsated everytime the thud was heard. She stomped the floor and a pile of plutonium shot up from the floor, blocking where the thud was from. She also made a strong barrier using gravity and made the pulsating light even dimmer than before. She stood vigilant, ready to attack whatever this anomaly was. The walls of the ring started to crack and Vhilver knows this threat is extremely powerful since it usually takes so long to make a dent or even a crack on the walls of the ring or the outer layer of the astral gate. She swiped her left foot slightly to her back creating a storm of glowing dust. The dust phased through the outer gate and reached the frontline of defense. The frontline got ready to defend behind the outer gate if Vhilver couldn't handle this anomaly on her own. The Grand Immortals felt a surge of energy pulsating from where Vhilver was and joined the frontline. "Stay vigilant, everyone. This threat is nothing we've ever seen" Ghviren said while she conjured a magical aura all around the Immortals on the frontline, amplifying their defense. The crack that was on the wall then exploded, causing the defense Vhilver set up to disappear. The explosion was blinding, it lit up a part of the northwest side of the ring with an orange light.
A laugh could be heard, echoing all around the ring. "Oh how great it feels to stand on something once more". Vhilver reached her hand out and clenched her hand into a fist, causing roots made out of gravity and holding the mysterious anomaly in place. Vhilver then got a clear view of the anomaly and it was the demon Reality had warned her. "Y-you! Hilviron v Elviron..." Vhilver exclaimed out of shock. Hilviron laughed and said "Oh yes, it is I... The Demon of Expectations and Delusions, hence the name". Vhilver's restraints on her became weaker and weaker. When the restraints were off of her, she lunged at Vhilver and punched her with her right arm that was glowing orange, causing an explosion and sending Vhilver flying. "I may not have my powers yet, but this explosion magic I learned from the void works perfectly..." Hilviron said then following the sentence she chuckled as she looked at Vhilver. "You raised the immortals and forgot your own powers?" Hilviron mocked "Oh yes I've been spying on you before that damned beast tricked me and sent me to the deep dark." Vhilver stood up and replied "Do NOT say that Reality is a beast... Even if I forgot my own powers, one day I will learn it again". Vhilver then pushed the air and made a beam of white radiance, causing Hilviron to get blinded for a while and get hit by the beam. Hilviron grunted as she stumbled back. Instead of her falling out because of the hole in the wall, the wall already regenerated and Hilviron hit her head on the wall. "Am I really not welcome here?" Hilviron said as she got up from the ground. "I am told by someone that I will be the ruler of this realm""Oh shut it, you're delusional as ever"Vhilver channeled energy and sent out hundreds of spikes made out of a dense material. "Xhe vhrienl'l, vhirzhen aevhnarkl zhe (You all, I command thee)" Hilviron chanted. All the spikes then stopped and turned around. Hilviron smirked as she sent the spikes back to Vhilver. Vhilver Tried shielding herself and the others behind her at the gate, but the spikes were even more powerful than before and it broke her shield, causing her to be impaled by the spikes. Vhilver kept calm and channeled energy inside her. After a while a burst of transparent gray energy occurred, making the spikes that were about to impale Vhilver to disintegrate. Vhilver's eyes lit up with joy for a split second because she had used her old powers once more."You should wipe that smile off of your face," Hilviron said."You are no fun at all, demon," Vhilver replied.Hilviron then laughed maniacally as she threw millions of shards made out of the same material of shards that Vhilver threw at her. "Oh won't you just DIE?!" Hilviron shouted. "JUST LET ME IN" Hilviron screamed as she threw more shards at Vhilver. Vhilver was disintegrating the shards and walked closer to Hilviron. She reached her hand out and a burst of gray energy was shot out to Hilvirons direction. The gray energy hit Hilviron and it made a hole on her right shoulder. Hilviron screamed out in pain. Her eyes turned black, her skin pale white, and a bit cracked like an old porcelain doll. "What is this power?" Hilviron questions.Vhilver chuckled, then whispered, "Immortality and mortality."Vhilver levitated and she spread her arms then started to absorb power from the outer layer of the astral gate. It caused the surrounding area to have a massive tornado (the energy from the area) with Vhilver at the center. Because of the rough winds, Hilviron couldn't stay still and got flung to the air. The energy that Vhilver took made the wall slightly transparent. Hilviron covered herself in a ball of dark purple smoke to protect herself from any debris from the fight. After absorbing 1/4th of the energy stored in the outer layer of the astral gate, Vhilver then unleashed a devastating gust of her power to every direction, causing Hilviron's shield to dissolve. Hilviron was falling from a great height. Hilviron was angry at being toyed with by Vhilver. Hilviron then gained control and looked down to the ground just to see glowing gray spikes, waiting to impale her. "I'll be back! Hearken to me and prepare, for I, the first demon of the fourth quadrant, Hilviron v Elviron, will make your reality into nothing but a mere delusion!" Hilviron cursed before getting impaled by the spikes. "I'll be waiting then, demon," Vhilver replied. Vhilver stayed a safe distance between her and the corpse of the demon. Hilviron's body was covered in blood, both eyes impaled, skin white as snow, and a pentagram at the back of her head. The pentagram began to glow purple, getting brighter and bigger as each second passed. From that pentagram, the soul of Hilviron got out, causing a loud screech before going out of the realm. Vhilver and all of the immortals could see her soul going further and further. Then a square with bright blue outlines appeared and the soul of Hilviron went in.
The immortals went back into the realm and Vhilver stayed there, returning the energy she took back to the walls. Reality opened his eyes again after watching the scene uncover. Arven was paralyzed, held back by the seers of Reality, making him get ready for what is going to happen. Reality stood up and teleported to the castle garden. His cape fluttered as he walked to a giant circle that had a sigil carved into it. He knelt down at the center then summoned a book. It was black with blue fire scorching the edges but not burning the book. The moon was right above him and it was burning dark purple. He closed his eyes then casted a spell that was written in the book, after each word he said, an echo could be heard, "By the power of the Grand Eternals (Vhn l'aivher xvo L'Vgrzen Ethrirnl'e) I stand in strength, rise with protection, and shatter in honor, (Zhe dgha eivn er'llvhn, qa'n lii vhrez, eht eivn kharvn,) for Reality (evn Aerchn)." The echo was like two other voices that are not from the realm of Reality. Reality repeated that spell for 18 days non stop and on the final day, there were 3 moons. One was purple, one was golden, and one was black and white. Reality opened his eyes, closed the book, and looked up. His eyes turned black and a crown emerged from his skull.
