Dimensional Descent

Leonel didn't know what was going on. It was in one part because he didn't understand, and another part because it was difficult to think at all.

"He rarely found his mind being overloaded by anything, but at the moment it felt like that was truly what was happening. There were too many sensations, so many sparks going off in his mind that he couldn't do anything but stand there. He didn't have the mental capacity left to even control his body, let alone pay attention to any sensory information coming in from his surroundings."

"He didn't hear Anastasia's voice or his wife's. He found it difficult to pay attention to anything but the Big Bang echoing through his mind."

"He felt like his body was being stretched through both the past, the present and the future, as though he was forming a will that surpassed it all."

"He didn't know how long it lasted, but all he could think of as he came down from that high was how disappointed he was. He felt like he had opened a gate to unprecedented power, and yet instead of being able to take advantage of it, it was locked away in his body because his Dimension was far too weak."

"It was a good thing. If the true extent of this power remained while he lacked the ability to withstand its might, his body would implode."

"However, he still didn't like it. It was hard seeing power you had rightfully earned slip away from you."

"Leonel's eyes slowly came into focus. He went from a person who was all of paralyzed, blind and deaf to someone whose senses nearly overloaded him in the next instant."

"The world felt so bright, so clear... so malleable."

"He vaguely saw the bracelets around his arm and wrists before they slowly faded away, and his first thought was much like Aina's. They looked identical to the Spear and Bow Domain rings."

"They were partially complete rings, almost as though someone had cut a small piece of them. In that missing portion, there was the hovering piece of a weapon. It was a gorgeous piece of craftsmanship that only seemed stronger in this form."

"Even though they were slowly fading, Leonel found that even as they did so, lifting his arms was actually so difficult, almost as though succeeding in doing so would allow him the ability to destroy the world."
