Road To Chaos Goes From The Mountains

My eyes remained fixed on the glowing core as I asked quietly,

"How is the island floating?"

Azalea replied, "It's a combination of different laws working together. The core plays a major role, of course."

I followed up with another question.

"Why didn't you just move the realm somewhere else?"

She let out a soft sigh.

"I did. But moving a realm isn't easy—it takes a lot of Essence to operate the core. I was injured and running from the Phantom. So I picked a direction at random and pushed the realm with whatever Essence I could still control."

She turned to look at me.

"And it just so happened… it ended up near your home planet."

My eyes widened slightly.

"That… was a coincidence?"

She nodded.

"Every small realm like this needs a larger world to anchor itself. It can't just float around in space on its own. And somehow, this one latched onto yours."

Her tone shifted, becoming sharper.
