Lupesia Palace

Kristen : ok , everyone move only one doctor stay .

She went and sat on William stomach

Everyone: what the 😶

Kristen : closed her eyes , placed her both hands on William chest , a warm green light appears

William in

Darkness

Not calm this time.

It was thinning.

Like a veil being torn from the inside.

William stood in the fractured world, but now the ground beneath him was unstable—cracks widening, light bleeding through them in sharp lines.

Elda was no longer distant.

She watched closely now.

Elda:

"She's pulling harder." 😏

William:

"...I can feel that." 😐

The air trembled.

Not wind.

Something alive pushing through reality itself.

Elda stepped back slightly.

Elda:

"Your return is accelerating."

William looked down.

The cracks beneath him now showed something else—

Not just light.

A glimpse.

A room.

A bed.

Faces.

A girl standing over him.

William narrowed his eyes slightly.

William:

"So that is the real world." 😐

Elda:

"Yes."

A pause.

Elda:

"And she is forcing the connection open."

Reality – Campbell Palace

The room was under strain.

Not destruction—but pressure, like the air itself was being stretched between two places.

Doctor:

"Energy output is rising again—her core channel is spiking!" 😨

Rowan:

"She's doing it again?!" 😭

Leo's eyes narrowed.

Leo:

"No… this is different." 😐

Kristen stood over William, both hands now hovering above him.

Her earth magic was no longer spreading outward.

It was going inward.

Focused.

Precise.

The floor beneath her feet glowed faintly with ancient resonance as if the palace itself recognized the force she carried.

Kristen:

"...Stay with me." 😟

The pendant flared.

And the air above William split slightly.

Not physically.

Dimensional distortion.

A thin, trembling crack appeared in the space above his chest—like reality itself was misaligned.

King Richard stepped forward sharply.

King Richard:

"What is that?" 😠

Leo's voice was quiet.

Leo:

"A bridge point."

William – Between Worlds

William saw it clearly now.

A fracture opening directly above him.

Through it—

Kristen.

Straining.

Holding something far larger than her body should manage alone.

William exhaled slowly.

William:

".she is so Stubborn." ❤️❤️❤️

Elda's expression shifted slightly.

Elda:

"If she fails, you do not return."

William:

"I know "

He stepped forward.

The ground beneath him shattered into light.

Reality – Palace

The crack widened.

Energy surged violently through the room.

Doctor:

"System overload approaching critical threshold!" 😨

Kristen gritted her teeth.

Kristen:

"I can hold it… just a little longer… but this much power is not enough , l need more physical touch'

Rowan:

"She's going to collapse!" 😭

Leo stepped forward but stopped.

Everyone: 😶

Kristen holded William face and connected her mouth with William , started sucking it in such a way , she can feel William saliva too'

Rowan : She is kissing our brother

Leo:

"No… she is stabilizing it differently now." 😐

The earth magic beneath Kristen responded not as force, but as support.

Roots of energy spread through the palace floor, locking into structure, distributing the strain.

The crack stabilized.

Not expanding.

Not closing.

Holding.

William – The Crossing

William reached the edge of the fracture.

Light poured through.

Not painful.

Warm.

Elda's voice echoed behind him.

Elda:

"Go, William Campbell."

William paused.

William:

"...Try not to cause more problems while I'm gone." 😐

Elda:

"No promises." 😏

Then he stepped forward.

Reality – Palace

The crack in space flared

And William's consciousness snapped back into his body.

His chest rose sharply.

He inhaled.

Eyes opened fully.

The room froze.

Rowan:

"...He's back." 😭

Doctor:

"Vitals stabilizing—fully stabilizing!" 😨

King Richard exhaled slowly, relief controlled but visible.

King Richard:

"Good."

Kristen staggered slightly as the energy release reversed.

The earth magic settled.

The crack in space sealed like glass healing.

Her knees almost gave way—

But she stayed standing.
