Dimensional Descent

Leonel stretched as he and Aina stepped out of the Segmented Cube. Up above, a ticking timer was already about to hit zero, and the chaos of the world had suddenly become an eerie silence as people just looked up at it.

After Aina killed Urlgan, Leonel hadn't really bothered to check on the situation, and since Anastasia hadn't said anything about it, he assumed that nothing of real importance had happened either.

And honestly, what could they do? They probably sat there, despairing their outcome.

Aina had killed Urlgan quite publicly, or else it would have never stopped the tirade of the demons. Most didn't even know who she was as Leonel had been at the forefront of pretty much everything until now.

As for the humans, they hadn't even been present at the time, so all they knew was that an extremely powerful woman suddenly descended and put a stop to the chaos.

At that point, they could only sit there and hope that things would be different.

The timer continued to tick down while Leonel and Aina rose into the skies. From the looks of it, it really did seem that they were the only group with any intention of entering while everyone else was hoping for a miracle.

Or so it seemed.

At the very least, one ship came flying in from a distance, stopping not too far away. Out from within it, a familiar old woman stepped out.

Mo''Lexi.

Her gaze landed on Leonel, a flicker of emotion dancing through her old eyes.

Leonel himself raised an eyebrow. There was an age limit for the Gathering of Kingdoms, and she certainly didn't meet it. If she tried, she could end up getting minced to pieces as she stepped through the portal, so he didn't really understand why she had come at all.
