Tarik and Ayna stepped through the portal and found themselves in an entirely different world. The ground beneath their feet was soft, like a bed of grass, and around them stretched endless expanses that resembled none of the worlds they had visited before. It was peaceful and serene here, yet this calmness concealed an enigmatic tension.
The sky above them was cloudless, but so bright that Tarik felt his eyes squinting against the light. This was not a typical sun—it seemed warm yet distant, like an object existing beyond the usual laws of the world. There was almost no wind, yet the very spaces around them seemed to tremble with invisible waves of energy.
“Where are we?” Tarik asked, trying to make sense of what was happening.
“This is a place beyond the visible,” Ayna replied, her voice calm, but carrying an unusual depth. “Here, there are many truths hidden from ordinary eyes. But we must understand this place, for it is the key to what lies ahead.”
Tarik looked around. It seemed that every step led him to a new world, and yet with each step, he could sense the shadow of something great, something hidden—something he could feel but could not see.
“What exactly are we looking for?” he asked, not taking his eyes off the horizon, which had no beginning or end, simply fading into infinity.
“We are searching for a truth that only those ready to see everything can perceive,” Ayna said, her eyes softly glowing in this world, as if she already knew more than she could express.
Tarik felt his heart race. Something within him, something he couldn’t yet understand, urged him to move forward. He didn’t know what awaited them ahead, but he was ready.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward, and the ground beneath him seemed to respond to his movement, trembling and sinking into the earth. Then, from the depths of this world, a mysterious voice began to emerge.
“You have come to the place where the boundaries between worlds fade, where all that was hidden opens up. Only those who can embrace the unknown will find the way.”
Ayna raised her gaze, her eyes sparkling with a new light.
“This is the beginning,” she said, “the beginning of what will change everything.”
