Zarion drifted through the void between galaxies when a tear in reality appeared before him A rift pulsating with energy older than stars itself Curiosity pricked at him but Kaelara warned him of its danger "Many who touch this tear are lost to nothingness," she said Zarion ignored her warning and reached out
As his hand touched the rift a surge of energy knocked him backward The void twisted revealing shadows of beings from other realms They attacked with intent to consume him Zarion felt fear—a strange new emotion—but it was fleeting His aura flared into a golden storm, energy colliding with the invaders The rift tried to resist his will, pulling at his mind Kaelara joined him, lending her strength Together they fought the beings, each strike bending the void itself The battle was brutal, leaving fragments of reality shattered and floating in chaotic silence
Afterward Zarion realized the rift had granted him insight into other realities He saw countless universes interwoven like threads in a tapestry He understood now that true strength was not just raw power but understanding the flow of all existence His bond with Kaelara deepened as they shared the moment of victory The rift whispered secrets of creation and annihilation, and Zarion, for the first time, felt the weight of choices beyond comprehension He knew his journey would be dangerous but also beautiful
