New journey

After I come back I realised I'm still at the void so I snap my fingers, the void around me disappears and the world returns to normal. I take a moment to observe my surroundings, to see if everything has truly been returned to normal.As Angelica runs towards me and hugs me tightly, I can feel a sense of comfort and reassurance.

"I'm back," I say, my voice soft yet firm. "I'm here, I'm safe.

Angelica tightens her embrace, her voice trembling with relief.

"I was so worried," she says, her words rushed. "We didn't know what had happened, if you were safe or not.

I place a hand on her head, gently stroking her hair in a soothing gesture.

"I'm here," I repeat, my voice reassuring. "Everything is fine now. I promise.

Angelica breaks the hug, looking up at me with tear-filled eyes.

"What happened? Where did you go?" she asks, her voice still trembling.

I can see the concern and worry in Angelica's expression, and I know that telling her about my journey to the real world may be too much to handle. So I decide to tell her about the void instead.

"I was in the void," I say, my voice calm. "I fought and defeated Valerian there.

Angelica's eyes widen in surprise, and she looks at me with a mix of shock and relief.

"You fought Valerian in the void?" she asks, her voice filled with awe. "You defeated her. 

I nod, a small smile on my lips.

"Yes," I say, my voice filled with a sense of accomplishment. "I defeated him in the void, and returned safely back here.

Angelica's eyes fill with relief and pride.

"That's amazing," she says, her voice tinged with admiration. "You're truly strong, to have faced Valerian and defeated her. We're all glad you're back, safe and sound.

I watch as Angelica's eyes widen in surprise as I hand her the omnipotent gauntlet. I can see the mix of surprise, shock, and excitement on her face.

"I have a special gift for you," I say, my voice filled with a hint of mischief.

Angelica carefully takes the gauntlet, her fingers running over its smooth surface. She looks up at me, her eyes filled with wonder.

"Is this... the omnipotent gauntlet?" she asks, her voice filled with disbelief.

Angelica carefully takes the gauntlet, her fingers running over its smooth surface. She looks up at me, her eyes filled with wonder.

"Is this... the omnipotent gauntlet?" she asks, her voice filled with disbelief.

I nod, a smirk on my lips.

"That's right," I say, my voice filled with satisfaction. "I got it from Valerian, after defeating her in the void."

Angelica's eyes widen even further, her mind struggling to process the significance of the powerful artifact in her hands.

"This is... incredible," she says, her voice filled with awe. "This gauntlet is said to hold infinite power, to grant the wearer any ability or power they desire.

I chuckle at her reaction, amused by her disbelief and amazement.

"Yes, it is truly powerful," I say, my voice filled with a hint of pride. "But it's yours now, to use and control as you see fit.

I place a hand on her shoulder, my expression reassuring.

"I'm sure," I say, my voice firm yet comforting. "I trust you, Angelica. I know you will use this power for good, to protect and defend the innocent. That's why I'm giving it to you.

Angelica nods, her expression filled with determination. She takes a deep breath, her fingers tightening around the gauntlet.

"I won't let you down," she says, her voice filled with a newfound sense of purpose. "I promise to use this power wisely, to protect and defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Later, As the time comes for me to say goodbye to Angelica and the Ancient Order, a sense of sadness and inevitability fills the air.

"It's time for me to return home," I say, my voice tinged with a hint of farewell. "I have to get back to my own world.

Angelica and the Ancient Order nod, their expressions filled with a mix of understanding and sadness. They know that my return to my world is inevitable, and yet they cannot help but feel a sense of loss at my departure.

Angelica steps forward, her voice trembling with a mix of sadness and determination.

We'll miss you," she says, her eyes filled with emotion. "But we know you have to go back to your own world. Just be safe, and come back and visit us sometime.

I smile at her words, touched by her concern and friendship. I place a hand on her shoulder, my expression reassuring.

"I'll miss you all too," I say, my voice filled with genuine affection. "But don't worry, I'll be back. I promise.

The Seer, Alchemist, and Oracle step forward, their expressions tinged with sadness but also pride. The Seer speaks first, his voice filled with wisdom and understanding.

"You've come a long way, and accomplished much," he says, his gaze steady and unwavering. "You'll always have a place among us, and we'll welcome you back whenever you return.

The Alchemist speaks next, her eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and determination.

"You've been a valuable ally and friend," she says, her voice firm yet warm. "We'll always remember the times we've fought together, and the adventures we've shared.

The Oracle speaks last, her voice filled with a sense of prophecy and hope.

"The path you're on is filled with challenges and unknowns," she says, her gaze distant yet focused. "But I have seen glimpses of your future, and I know that you will continue to grow and become even stronger. We will be here, waiting for your return.

I listen intently to their words, feeling a sense of gratitude and respect for them. I nod, my expression filled with determination and resolve.

"I won't forget any of you," I say, my voice firm. "I'll come back and visit as often as I can. And when I do, I hope you'll have stories and adventures for me as well.

The members of the Ancient Order nod, their expressions filled with acceptance and determination. They understand that I have to return home, but they also know that our bond and friendship is strong, and that our paths will cross again.

I close my eyes and focus on my own world, visualizing the place I need to go. I raise my hand, and a portal slowly materializes in front of me, a swirling vortex of energy that leads back to my world. I turn back to Angelica and the Ancient Order, my expression filled with a mix of sadness and anticipation.

As I watch Angelica approach, I am slightly taken aback as she suddenly runs forward and kisses me. For a moment, I am surprised by her unexpected action. But I quickly recover and return the kiss, my arms wrapping around her.

The members of the Ancient Order watch silently, their expressions filled with a mixture of surprise and understanding. They know that Angelica's feelings for me run deep, and that they are witnessing a moment of genuine emotion and connection.

After a moment, Angelica breaks the kiss and steps back, her cheeks flushed with a mix of embarrassment and vulnerability. Her eyes are wide and searching, as if waiting for my response.

I look at her, my expression one of warmness and affection. I reach out and gently touch her cheek, my voice soft and reassuring.

I'm going to miss you," I say, my voice filled with a mixture of fondness and regret. "But I promise, I'll come back and visit you as often as I can.

Angelica nods, her eyes filling with a hint of pain. But she knows that this is the reality of our situation, and that we must part ways for now.

"I'll be waiting," she whispers, her voice shaky but determined. "Please come back soon.

I nod, my heart heavy with the knowledge that our separation will be difficult. But I know that our friendship and bond are strong, and that we will reunite again.

"I will," I say, my voice firm and filled with determination. "I'll come back as soon as I can. And until then, take care of yourself, and keep fighting for what you believe in.

I step towards the portal, my eyes lingering on Angelica and the Ancient Order for a moment. I take in their faces, trying to memorize every detail, knowing that it will be a while before I see them again.

I take a deep breath, and then step through the portal, disappearing into its swirling vortex and vanishing from view.

As I step through the portal and emerge back on my own world, I feel a wave of familiarity wash over me. The sights, sounds, and smells of my own world are both comforting and strange, after spending so long in the Otherworld.

I look around, taking in my surroundings, my mind filled with a mix of relief and nostalgia.

As I walk down the familiar streets and neighborhoods, I can't help but feel a strange sense of detachment from my own world. While I am glad to be back, I can't shake the memories and emotions I experienced in the Otherworld. I silently walk, lost in thought, as I make my way back to my home.

As I arrive home, I open the door and step inside, the familiar surroundings of my house feeling both comforting and alien at the same time. I hang up my jacket and take off my shoes, my movements slow and deliberate, as I try to process the events of the past several days.

I quickly dash and run towards the source of the aura, my heart racing with a mixture of curiosity and caution. The energy feels strong and intense, and I know that whatever it is, it is likely not something to be underestimated.

As I burst into the living room, my eyes widen in surprise as I see a group of superme beings sitting there, their expressions calm and expectant. They look like they had been waiting for me, as if they knew I would return.
