"Oh, it's your pretty cousin, why don't you pick it up?" "I'm not going to pick it up," I turned off my phone and continued chewing my food, "She's going to scold me for sure," His focus returns to the papers. And shuffling some papers around, "About the contract, why is it a lifetime?" his brows raised, Kurai slides his eyes towards me, "what is with this Drayce try to offer you like this?" "I don't know," I shrugged my shoulders, "I supposed to read it later, any advice?"

I had evolved beyond the simple categories of flesh and bone, beyond the limitations of singular existence. I was something liminal now, a living tether stretched between the state of becoming and the realm of beyond, while my children watched in profound silence as the veil between known multiverses began to part like cosmic curtains revealing an infinite stage.

Psyche is more powerful than I originally thought. “I have command over the spirits I send there. Not the Beyond itself.” She holds her hands up defensively. “Kas, for those of us who don’t know, can you explain what this place is?” Ashley looks at Sy, then back to me. “Oh, sorry. Yes. The Beyond is an astral plane that… well… isn’t. It’s a place between places. Infinite nothingness. Its only real purpose is for travel or to slingshot you to where you want to go from one dimension to another. In reality, it’s more like the back door option or going on a path through the dark, scary woods. There are plenty of real nasty entities who get trapped there when they try to use it, which adds anothe

*** ### Elsewhere Deep beneath the Eternal Glades— the roots shifted. *** Ancient. Vast. Alive in ways the surface had long forgotten. *** They pulsed— not in fear. *** In recognition. *** Something had changed. *** Something had *joined* the pattern. *** ### Beyond Far outside the world— the observing force watched again. *** Not with curiosity this time. *** With calculation. *** It adjusted— not to her power— but to her nature. *** Because power could be resisted.
