[Bonus chapter] The Shared Dream

"No, I will place barriers up, and you are going to help me!" I said with a smile, walking over to the edge of the massive square hole.

I dropped down and hit the ground with a thud, looking around. There wasn't much to look at, but this was the place that we had first met after I came to this world. Our first interaction had been so wonderful and strange, but now Tallia was a stranger.
