Dimensional Descent

Earth shook and quaked. At that moment, a second moon appeared in the sky. But, compared to the silvery beauty that was the original, this one was bathed in blackness, making it exceptionally difficult to pick out in the night sky.

The result was an even more violent change to Earth's climate. It was impossible to tell exactly what would happen and just when these changes would come to an end.

These past few months had truly been too hard. Even though only a week or so had passed in the real world, to him, it had been over a year. His 19th birthday was also quickly approaching within this true timeline.

He looked up toward the endless vastness of white and smiled. He didn't know why he did, but he just felt like he should.

Leonel grinned hearing the familiar voice.
