Dimensional Descent

Aina stepped out of her final battle, taking a breath and looking into the skies with a light smile. It seemed that things had finally come to an end. She had kept her promise and done her part. Now... it was only a matter of what would happen from this point forth.

The Gathering Stele flickered and one hundred names were quickly arranged. At the very top, the name Aina Morales stood alone.

A human.

Everyone could remember the last time the Gathering Stele gave an award, but no one could remember the last time a human had placed in the top 100, let alone number one.

This name alone held a great amount of weight, a weight that most couldn't quite fathom, and a weight that even Aina herself wasn't sure of...

She wasn't sure what kind of storms this would kick up, but she was confident that Leonel had a plan.

They didn't have much of a choice but to place in the Finals. If not, there was no other path for them to save the Human Bubbles. But if there was anyone who could take advantage of a situation like this one... it was her husband.

All around the city, portals began to appear.

Aina looked over toward the distance and found Yuri and Savahn looking toward her with longing in their eyes. They had ultimately just spent a few days together, and for the rest of it, they could only watch Aina from a distance, too weak to partake. They knew if they tried they would just get in her way, but it was really killing them on the inside being unable to do anything.

And now, they were going to be separated again. The Gathering Stele would only return them to their homes. There was little they could do.

Aina smiled brightly so as to assure them. They would see each other again soon, that she was certain of.

With a step, she vanished and returned to the Human Bubbles. Or, more accurately, the Vast Bubble.
