Even so, I am here today, knowing that I will come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, countless days exactly like today. The universe operates and cycles in a circle, the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, the planets, and the black holes are all round, revolving around themselves; alternating day and night, alternating seasons, all in a circle; Even the light ring on the angel's head, the halo around the Buddha, the yin and yang trigrams are also circles.

"Hopefully, his performance will be as dazzling." "Go ahead and inform them that it's about time, and we can raise the Virtual Fantasy Formation." After Caspian found the elders' spot, he did not pay attention to that place anymore. Instead, he looked at the circular ring at the most front of this number eight area. All of the ten areas had the same circular rings, and each of the circular rings would have 12 smaller rings in them. Additionally, the 12 small circles were separated from each other,

Fabian hit the floor like a dog face-planting in the dirt, groaning in pain. His lackey, Chester, grabbed a chair and swung it at me after seeing him getting hit. I dodged to the side, kicked him hard in the butt, and sent him crashing into the pile of wreaths. Fabian scrambled up from the ground with his fleshy face twisted in fury. “Are you tired of living, Mattie? Do you have any idea where the Jeffersons stand in Cirrus? Even having ten lives would not save you!” I curled my lips. There weren’t many people in this world who could take my life.

He was playing a game on his tablet, it had all of his attention. “You like the game, right? What's the name?” The boy looked up and smiled. “Yes, it's really fun, it's called Butter Slap.” “What happens in the game? You slap people on the face with butter?"

His hips ground against mine as he whispered my name over and over, a mantra only he knew this intimately. Vetur flared, energy zinging through me. My power was back. It reached for him and his fire answered. In a daze, I watched as they mingled and became one. Pure white and glacial blue intertwined with burning red, vibrant yellow, and glowing orange.
