Chapter 13 - The Return Reality

[With the battle concluded and the trio standing united, Void Ling steps foward, raising his hand as the remnants of his Void Dominion ripple faintly around him. The school, frozen in time since the fight began, remains eerily still--- but not for long.]

Void ling:

(Smirking faintly.)

"Guess it's time to let the world catch up. They've been frozen long enough."

He gestures lightly, and Void retracts, unfreeze the entire school in an instant. Time resumes, the frozen students, teacher,and staff suddenly coming back to life, Oblivion to the chaos that unfolded while they were suspended.

The School Awakens:

The faint hum of activity returns as the school buzzes with life. Voices and footsteps echo through the halls, Oblivious to the destroyed gymnasium now concealed by Void Ling's lingering presence. The frozen chaos dissipates quietly, leaving the trio standing amidst the ruins.

Blaze Vortex:

(Glancing around, his flames dimming gently as he smirks.)

"Smooth move, Void Guess they'll never know we just fough the battle of the century."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Her golden spirals glow softly as she looks at Void ling with a slight smile.)

"Let's hope it stays the way. I don't think they'd believe us even if they saw it."

Void ling:

(Shruggling nonchalantly, his grin widening as he steps back.)

"Hey, some mysterious are better left unsolved. Let's call it a job well done."

Blaze Vortex:

(Looking up at the sky)

"Funny how the world keeps spinning no matter what happens."

Seraphina Nyx:

(She pauses, her gaze softening as she look ahead.)

"But sometimes I wonder... do they even realize what we do to keep everything running smoothly?"

Void ling:

(He shrugs casually.)

"We do it because we're the only ones who can."

Blaze Vortex:

(He laughs lightly before turning serious again.)

"But you're right. If not use, who else."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Smiling faintly.)

"Still, it wouldn't hurt if they knew someone was watching over them. Maybe one day they'll understand. Maybe they'll see what balance, chaos, and order truly mean."

Void ling:

(He gesture toward the horizon.)

"Come on. The day's done. Let's enjoy the sunset before you start balancing the universe again."

The trio walks through the quiet streets, the golden hues of the sunset fading into twilight . Their conversation flows easily, the events of the day gradually fading unto memory. The calm atmosphere is abruptly broken by guttural roars and heavy footsteps. A group of orcs-large, menacijg and armed-emerges from the shadows, blocking their path.

Blaze Vortex:

(Glancing at the orcs.)

"Really? Orcs? This is what they're sending after us? Guess they didn't hear about us."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Sighing softly, her golden spirals glowing faintly.)

"They never learn. Let's finish this quickly. I'm not in a mood for interruption tonight."

Void ling:

(His grin widen sharply as he steps foward.)

"Quick, you say? Oh, we'll make it quick. Just watch.)

(Raising his hand, his voice echoes with commanding authority.)

"COME FORTH"

At Void Ling's call, the ground trembles faintly, and an overwhelming surge of energy ripples through the air. Shadows rise from the earth in countless numbers, coiling and twisting as they from infinite shadow army rises from the shadows."

Within minutes, the orcs are defeated, their forms disintegrating into nothingness as Void Ling's shadows disspate back into his Domain.

Blaze Vortex:

(Dusting of his hands.)

"Well, that was... anticlimactic. Guess they'll think twice before trying that again.

Seraphina Nyx:

(Smiling faintly)

"They never do. But at least it's over. Let's keep moving before the nights get any darker."

Void ling:

(Grining sharply, his shadows fading completely as he gestures foward.)

"Agreed. They didn't stand a chance, but next time, maybe we'll get something more... challenging."

The trio continues walking through the quiet streets the calm night sharp contrast to the earlier battle against the orcs. Void ling, Blaze Vortex and Seraphina Nyx walk in unison, As the conversation drifts back to Void Ling's incredible display, Blaze and Nyx can't hold their curiosity

Blaze Vortex:

(Glancing at Void ling, his flames flickering faintly as his tone grows inquisitive.)

"Alright,Void, I've gotta know-- what's the deal with that infinite army of yours? I mean, it's not just big. It's endless. How is that even possible?"

Void ling:

(Smirking, his shadows swirling faintly around him as he steps foward.)

"It's simple... at least for me. The Void isn't bound by size, space, or limits. When I summon my army, I'm not creating them- they already exist in the Void, waiting. They're endless because the Void itself is infinite. There's no beginning, no end. Just chaos, ready to take form."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Her tone reflecting awe.)

"Infinite... no limits. You're not just commanding them- you're drawing from something beyond anything this world can comprehend. The Void itself is alive, isn't it? It similar to your Void Dominion."

Void ling:

(His grin widens, his voice calm.)

"You could say that. The Void exists outside of everything--time, space and even reality itself. And Void Dominion? It's not just control-- it's total authority over that chaos, with it, I don't just bend laws, I destroy them.

Blaze Vortex:

(He stares at Void ling in disbelief)

"You're saying your Void Dominion transcend.. all laws? Physics, time causality? And even Cosmic order?

Void ling:

(Turning toward blaze)

"That's exactly what I'm saying. Laws, rules, structure-- they don't mean anything in the Void. My Dominion operates beyond them. If I decide something shouldn't exist, it's gone. No exceptions."

Seraphina Nyx:

(She looks at Void , her tone mixed with curiosity.)

"But... doesn't that kind of power come with consequences? If nothing can limit you, how do you.. control it?"

Void ling:

(His grin soften lightly, his voice growing quieter.)

"It's not about control. It's about balance. The Void may be infinite, but it's chaotic by nature. My job isn't to control it- it's to direct it. That why I don't use it unless I have to. Power like this.."

Blaze Vortex:

(Nodding slowly, his tone more serious now.)

"Good thing it's you who has it. Anyone else would've already torn reality apart by now."

Seraphina Nyx:

(Smiling faintly)

"Agreed. You may walk the line between chaos and balance, Void, but you'll always have us to remind you where the line is."
