Chapter 0784

Nina

Darkness enveloped me, replacing the inferno of flames and smoke that had taken over the lush jungle. The last thing I saw before everything went black was the swirling array of portals, out of which poured a plethora of armored troops.

My father's reinforcements had arrived. But were they too late?

Before I could even process what was happening, however, I was transported out of the world of the conscious and was sent somewhere else entirely.

When I opened my eyes, a vast expanse of nothingness stretched out in every direction. And yet, even in this infinite void, I felt a strange sense of familiarity-a recognition that this place existed somewhere beyond the boundaries of the physical world.

I had been here before, and recently, too. In fact, I could still hear the dying shrieks of the shadow entity.

My twin sister's sad face almost seemed to shimmer in front of me, her eyes red-rimmed from crying and her cheeks hollow, so much unlike the way she had looked the last time I had been here.

"Sister," she said, her voice weaker than before. "You came."

"Selena..." I breathed. "What's happening? Why am I here again? You look..." I paused, taking in her appearance again.

A soft chuckle, if one could even call it that, echoed in the back of her throat and seemed to bounce off of walls that didn't exist. "It's tiring, keeping that... thing at bay," she murmured. "And it grows more tiring by the day."
