"Where am I? Where is this place?" Jace asked, his voice echoing in the eerie stillness that surrounded him. He stood in a realm of stark contrasts, where light and darkness intertwined in a seamless dance, creating an ethereal landscape that defied comprehension.

"This can't be the afterlife," Jace murmured to himself, his blue eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of familiarity or guidance. Memories of his betrayal flashed through his mind, the sting of Jareth and Vincent's treachery still fresh in his thoughts.
