"Control center, this is Astrea. I'm entering the designated area," she said while checking the instruments.
"Copy that, Astrea. Keep the connection active. Wind readings are erratic. Do not approach the emission point too closely," replied the operator.
Mallina entered an endless blue space where invisible energy flows, aboard a small transport ship. The engine vibrated irregularly due to the instability of the Asmofera power.
—What is this place? —Mallina asked.
—This is the Trasmosphere, or Invisible Asmofera. This place powers the visible Asmofera, the one we know in Mirakyō, and it's what allows the sky-dwellers to live normally —the operator explained.
—By the way, outside, in the visible Asmofera, the clouds are moving strangely, forming straight lines as if cut by an invisible force. It's unusual —the operator added before falling silent to let Mallina concentrate.
Mallina looked out the window. In the distance, a white light was flashing in the sky. It wasn't a storm. It was a constant, pulsating source, as if the air itself were glowing.
She increased the engine's power and approached.
Pressure values dropped immediately. Life support systems triggered continuous alarms.
When she finally stopped the ship, she noticed a figure floating a few meters above the gaseous surface: a woman with white hair and red eyes, wearing a golden crown and a white dress with gold and red details. Her expression was calm and motionless.
Mallina activated her transmitter.
—Control, I have visual contact with a humanoid entity. I repeat, a humanoid entity in the phenomenon area.
Before receiving a response, the figure spoke:
—You are an exorcist, correct? —she said in a soft voice.
—Who are you? —Mallina asked.
—They call me The Woman Who Shines. This power no longer belongs to you.
Mallina felt an electric shock run through the ship. Pressure and temperature indicators began fluctuating uncontrollably. The air around the light compressed and then vanished completely.
Without waiting for further orders, Mallina extended an energy seal in front of her.
—Then I'll have to check it myself.
The amulet glowed, and a pattern activated quickly: 🌫️📿 Asmoferic Amulet 📿🌫️. The air hit the teenager, but the attack failed and dissipated.
—Now you've discovered it —the woman said.
Then, she vanished in a bright explosion that lit up the entire Invisible Asmofera.
