Unprecedented

Ryu looked at the skies as the golden door opened.

He knew that this would happen. After Sarriel crossed over a certain threshold, she wouldn't be allowed to stay.

He, himself, had been given a mere hundred years to remain here. Honestly speaking, maybe it was a good thing that he had yet to well and truly break into the Lord Realm. If he had, maybe they would have moved up the timeline once again.

But there was no doubt that Sarriel had soared by whatever that threshold was.

Golden light spilled down as the doors began to creak open further and further. Once again, there was just the sliver of a crack before a golden-wreathed young man walked out once more.

Sarriel's eyes were still tightly closed, her body curled into Ryu's arms like some sort of kitten. She was already awake, but she found herself liking the feeling quite a bit.

The time extended in her mind, and she sank into the feeling, trying to feel it for as long as possible.
