Finality

  "Now... to return home, and enter the Ethereal Realm. The hard part is over. My soul is gone. But that's OK. There's nothing to worry about. If I succeed, I will live a full, happy life... With my friends, family, and all the others that care about me! I won't let this sacrifice go to waste. Just because the Omni stabbed me in the back doesn't mean I can't do it back." Xahri talked to herself as she passed through the Interdimensional Vhase, slowly regaining her consciousness. The air was super thin, but breathable. Xahri was kept alive by this, as well as her hopes.

  As she fell deeper into the Interdimensional Vhase, Various dimensions could be seen. Some worlds were already gone. Some worlds were ruined. And some... were still there, but; their inhabitants were full of fear. One dimension stood out to Xahri though. A mono grey, ruined world, that seemed like it used to be alive and well. "That place... I feel like I've been there before... Not directly, but through someones dream..." Xahri pondered on the dimensions she passed by as she fell back the Nyshenor.

  "Avindor... the people there... have been through enough... I've only been there a few times, but I know for a fact that... They have seen the end already in the past. They are scared, but hopeful. I must succeed. The Omni can't win. Unlike other erasures, this would be a permanent cessation of existance for all life. I wont let that happen." Xahri kept falling. She spotted the entrance to Nyshenor, and dived towards it. As she grew closer, her eyes opened wide. What she saw was unspeakable.

  "Wake up... Xahri... Wake up!! Xahri!!! WAKE UP!!!" A voice could be heard. Xahri awoke in her bed, shocked. "J-just a dream, huh..." She said. "We were worried sick about you. We thought you... you..." Avi said to Xahri. Kina could be seen sitting on Xahri's chair, a tear falling from her eye, and smile on her face. "Where are the others." Xahri asked. "They are outside, fighting. The Omni is about to succeed. The world is in an eternal night, and I sense that some worlds have already started to decay. "...mm..." Kina gave a light response.

  Xahri looked out the window. "It's very dark. Don't worry... this "dream" I had, while i was "asleep" was very enlightening. I know of a way to weaken the Omni, and give us an opening to defeat it." Avi was puzzled. "How did you learn all that in your sleep?" Avi noticed Xahri's hairpin was shattered. "N-no! Didn't you say something really bad w-would happen if that broke!?"

  "That bad thing already happened, and I'm right here, alive and well." Xahri responded to Avi. Kina walked over to Xahri, sat on her bed, and hugged her. "Don't worry, I've had to give up many things too... we're in this together." Kina said. Avi joined in and hugged them both. "Group hug!" Avi said, smiling. The three got out of the bed and went into the living area.

  "So... What is our plan of action, Xahri?" Avi asked. Rumbling could be heard from outside. The ground was shaking from extreme tremors. Memories and photos were falling from the wall and shattering, belongings were breaking. "We need to go to Avindor, and go to the Central Citadel, and go deep under it. There, we will find a magic bed that can... I'll leave that part out... just get me there... and I'll do the rest." Xahri said. Kina ran over to the front door and opened it. It was blocked by rubble. Ruined buildings, corpses, and statues of people that once lived, were scattered about. A grey pigment was tainting the surface as well.

  "Avi, open a portal to Avindor, NOW!!" Xahri pleaded. Avi tapped into her power. "Agh!!! It H-hurts... t-too much!! The Omni... controls the goddess, I inherited the goddess' power, as you know. With too much superior, dark energy nearby, I cant use my power, and would surely die if I tried to sustain it for too long. We need to get as far away from the city as possible. To an uninhabited area, where the land is still somewhat pure." Avi explained to Xahri and Kina what was happening to her. "But... how do we get out of here...? The front door is blocked... and even if we did, wouldn't we just get killed?" Kina asked. Xahri pulled her weapon. "We can still fight. Avi, get your sword, Kina, get your bow, I've got some new tricks to show you guys!"

  The two girls grabbed their weapons, and went over to the back door. It was also blocked by rubble. "Blocked off... ugh..." Kina became frustrated. Xahri walked over and split the rocks with her daggers. "You do remember that my Twin Digitaros are extremely hot, right? They can melt rock very easily." "Go figure." Avi said. The three ran out the back door, and sprinted forward. "W-were just running! Where are we even going!?" Kina yelled. Explosions could be seen in the distance, as well as the echo of terrified screams. The world was ending. For real this time. "I know of a way to get out of the city, we need to go south to the outskirts, and then just run straight, we should reach some fields shortly after... There, you can open a portal to Avindor." Xahri said. Avi nodded to Xahri, and the three began running east.

  "Monsters, quick! Kill them!" Avi yelled. Kina fired her bow several times, while Avi ran towards the enemies and did a jumping attack. Xahri threw her daggers at the enemies and caught them. "So I see what you mean by new tricks! Good stuff, Xahri!" Avi yelled. "No time to chat all giddy like that, we need to keep moving, this isn't a cheerful time." Xahri said, sternly. The three kept running. They dispatched many other monsters as they ran.

  Thud "Uh... big guy... behind you... Xahri..." Kina warned Xahri of the giant grotesque beast behind her. "Uh oh." It tried to pin her. Xahri dodged. Avi quickly ran up on the creatures back and began digging her sword through it. Xahri did several spin attacks on the enemies feet, while Kina shot her arrows at the creatures eye. It swiftly fell to its demise. "Piece of cake!" Avi said. The other two stayed silent and began running again. The tremors grew worse and worse, as more buildings fell. The echoed screams grew quieter and quieter. "Either people found a place to hide... or their all dead..." Kina was concerned. "No time, we can grieve losses later, all we can do is press on, and save what we can." Avi said. "I agree." Xahri responded.

  The three reached the city outskirts, and began sprinting. "Wow, Kina, you sure have a lot of energy!" Kina was running significantly faster than Avi and Xahri. "I'll beat you there!" She said. "Eh... a little fun is OK in times like this... Not if i can beat you there first!" Xahri sped up and nearly caught up to Kina. "Hey!" Avi was running behind them, reaching her arm out in laughter and frustration. The city grew smaller and smaller in the background as the three ran.

  "There are, strangely... no monsters here!" Kina noticed that the area was somewhat peaceful, besides the tremors. "The Omni has them attacking the city. Although it is a Deity, it's forces are still limited." Avi replied. A blue opening could be seen in the distance. "That looks to be our destination." Avi pointed while she was running. The sky began to brighten up, and the color of the grass seemed to be normalizing. "We must act quick, once the Omni finds we're here, we probably will have to run very far to find another place like this." Xahri kept running as she looked around her at the rolling green fields. Avi looked around and a tear fell from her eye. "Even here, in a completely different dimension, the fields still persist, how did I miss this...? (Marlon... I miss you...)"

  "Now! Open the portal!" Xahri yelled. Kina paced around Avi and Xahri as Avi channeled her energy. She successfully opened the portal. "Lets go." They entered the portal, and were swiftly transported to Avindor. Upon arriving, it was quickly noticeable that the sky was darker than usual. Although, not as bad as the state of Nyshenor, this world was still close to its end. "The Central Citadel should be north of here, I purposely positioned us as close to it as I could." "Well then... lets get going..." Xahri said. The three began their journey to the Central Citadel. Will they make it in time? Or will the Omni succeed before they make it...?
