Queen Elowen and Phoenix Queen Ignara didn't hesitate.
They turned at the same time and unleashed everything they had.
Eternal Flame spread across the top of the rupture. Extreme ice sealed the lower edges. The two powers crossed and pressed down toward the border between the worlds, trying to plug the section of space that had started to collapse.
But this time, the pressure was heavier than before.
Their power was terrifying, but with only the two of them, there was no way they could hold spatial stability for long.
Cracks multiplied across the void-world's surface. The gap where the two worlds collided began to thrum with a deep, grinding vibration.
Before long, the firelight on Phoenix Queen Ignara's body grew less steady than it had been, and some of the color drained from Queen Elowen's face.
Their auras started to sag.
Not far away, Desert Queen Kaelira and Queen Seraphine saw it and immediately rushed toward the boundary.
