The blinding white expanse of the light dimension remained completely still around us, casting no shadows upon the endless floor where we stood. The terrible burning sensation that had just filled my muscles was beginning to fade away, leaving my body trembling slightly from the sheer exhaustion of the ordeal. Chalreth stood close by, her breath steadying as the quietness of the realm settled over our positions. Sir Vael remained stationary in front of me, his posture upright and his expression turning incredibly grave as he contemplated the hidden secrets he had just glimpsed within my form. The silence between us stretched out for a long moment, heavy with the weight of the unknown entity that lay buried deep within my statistics. Suddenly, the quiet atmosphere was broken when Sir Vael opened his mouth to speak, his voice carrying a deep, resonant tone that echoed through the vast emptiness of the brilliant space. Sir Vael suddenly said, "This anomaly might be the anomaly that wiped out eighty percent of the Gods before the concept of time was created. And the only reason I know this is because I've read it in a book and the image matched the one I saw inside you..." The words left his lips with a chilling clarity, hanging in the bright air between us like a physical weight. I listened to his revelation in absolute silence, my mind racing as I tried to process the sheer scale of the terrifying entity he was describing. The thought of something so ancient and destructive existing within my own physical body made a cold shiver run down my spine. Chalreth stood perfectly still beside me, her gaze shifting between Sir Vael and myself as the profound weight of his statement filled the entire dimension. No one moved, and no one spoke an extra word as the terrifying description of the ancient anomaly settled deeply into our minds, leaving a lingering sense of dread in the brilliant white void.
Sir Vael did not allow us any additional time to ask questions or dwell on the frightening nature of his discovery. He raised his right arm smoothly into the open space of the light dimension, lifting his hand until it was positioned just above his shoulder line. His fingers were held steady against the brilliant white background of the realm as he prepared to alter our location once again. He pressed the tip of his thumb firmly against his middle finger, creating a tense position that lasted for a brief second. Then, with a sudden and swift motion of his wrist, Sir Vael snapped his fingers cleanly. The sound of his snap was incredibly sharp and resonant, cutting through the endless silence of the dimension like a sudden crack of thunder. The noise was brief but carried an immense presence that signaled an immediate shift in our surroundings. Before the echo of the sharp sound could fully disappear from the air, the white light around us began to dissolve in a single instant. The blinding expanse vanished entirely, and our physical forms were instantly carried away through space without us having to move our legs or take a single step forward. The transition was completely seamless and instantaneous, moving our bodies away from his personal realm before we could even register the change. We did not feel any physical discomfort or rushing wind during this rapid journey; our surroundings simply shifted from the infinite white void into a familiar enclosed space. Our boots touched down softly onto a solid surface, finding a firm and steady footing once again as the teleportation process came to a complete halt. We had been transported straight back to the safety of the large house, leaving the terrifying revelations of the light dimension behind us in the blink of an eye.
When the sudden flash of relocation settled completely, I looked around the environment and realized that we had successfully teleported to my room on the mansion. The familiar wooden walls stood straight and sturdy all around our positions, completely unaffected by the chaotic events that had transpired earlier in the morning. The quiet bedroom was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and the gentle morning light filtered softly through the glass windows, casting long shapes across the polished floor blocks. Chalreth stood right next to me near the center of the room, her boots planted firmly on the ground as she looked around to orient herself in the quiet space. Sir Vael stood directly in front of us, his presence dominating the small area between the entrance and the large wooden bed. He looked at both of us with a completely calm and serious expression, showing no signs of hesitation after performing the fast jump through space. He did not offer any further explanations about the ancient text he had read or the terrifying entity he had witnessed within my statistics. Instead, he kept his voice very low and steady, ensuring that his final command was completely understood before he left us alone. He just said, "You two should just act normally." The instruction was direct and simple, delivered with a firm tone that left no room for argument or discussion. He wanted us to conceal everything that had happened in the basement and the light dimension so that the other companions downstairs would remain entirely unaware of the danger. I nodded my head slightly to indicate my compliance, and Chalreth remained perfectly silent by my side, accepting his words with a serious nod of her own as the quietness of the bedroom enveloped us once more.
Sir Vael did not linger in the quiet bedroom for another moment after delivering his short and clear instruction to us. He kept his body perfectly upright and adjusted his stance slightly on the smooth floor blocks. He stepped forward with a single, deliberate movement of his leg, closing a small amount of the distance between his position and the center of the room. The motion was incredibly smooth and calm. As soon as his boot settled firmly onto the ground, he teleported instantly out of the space without needing to use the wooden door or make any physical gestures. His entire form vanished from our sight in a tiny fraction of a second, leaving the area in front of my bed completely vacant. And he disappeared entirely from the mansion, leaving no lingering sound, no shadow, and no trace of his immense presence behind him in the quiet room. His departure was completely sudden and silent, leaving the bedroom feeling noticeably emptier than it had been just a moment before. He had vanished completely into another unknown location, leaving Chalreth and me to handle the heavy burden of the secrets he had shared. We both stared at the empty space where he had been standing, processing the fact that he was completely gone from our side.
Chalreth stood completely still near the center of the floor for a few quiet moments after Sir Vael had teleported away from the room. She let out a soft breath, her shoulders relaxing slightly as she turned her head to look at me one final time. She remembered the direct command to behave as if nothing unusual had happened, and she knew it was time to return to the rest of the group downstairs. Chalreth stepped out of my room, moving her feet with slow and steady paces across the smooth floor blocks toward the heavy wooden exit. She walked past the edge of the furniture, lifting her boots carefully to avoid making any loud noises in the quiet house. She reached out her hand, grasped the cold metal handle of the door, and pulled it open cleanly. She walked through the open frame and entered the long hallway outside, pulling the door shut behind her back until a soft click signaled that it was securely latched. I was left entirely alone within the quiet confines of my bedroom. I moved my legs heavily across the floor, feeling the absolute weight of the morning's events pressing down upon my mind. I walked over to the side of the wooden frame and I sat on my bed, letting my physical body sink slowly into the soft layers of the blankets and pillows. I kept my hands resting flat against my knees as I stared blankly at the opposite wall of the silent room. I sat on my bed thinking on what the hell happened during our training match, the terrifying void, and the ancient anomaly that Sir Vael had described. The thought of an entity so powerful that it had destroyed eighty percent of the Gods existing secretly inside my own statistics filled my heart with a deep, unsettling confusion that I could not easily cast aside. I remained completely motionless in the quiet room, staring into the empty space while trying to really comprehend the true nature of the terrifying mystery that lay buried deep within my physical form right now.
