ACE POV:
I got up from the ground; a rather different kind.
I looked around at where I was. It was like a palace of another realm.
Everywhere was as bright as day.
They were different from what I had previously seen in the Wizarding world.
Beings walked about, looking rather unfazed by my intrusion.
"They can't see you. At least, not like this".
I turned towards the source of the voice.
He was magnificently clad in white robes. His presence smelt of fresh blooming orchards.
"Redein, it's you".
"Yes, it's me. You sound rather intimate for someone who you met only once".
"Sorry about that. It's just my style".
"Really bewildering, I must say".
"Does this cost one of my Oriphs, or what?".
"No, it doesn't. You are the one to summon, not me".
"Okay, what's the matter?".
"I've something to show you. Look, behind you".
I turned my back. A gargantuan mirror stood before me.
"Is that the Pearl of Visions?".
"Yes. Look into it".
I looked into it earnestly. Only my reflection stared hard at me.
"It seems not to be working right. I can't see a thing".
"Or rather, you are not looking right. Focus".
I calmed myself down in a rather surreal manner.
I peered into the mirror again.
This time, I saw a rather slack vision.
I saw a haphazard look of dark mist hanging around me.
"It's happening already, isn't it?".
"Yes. Faster than expected".
"If I can't use my powers, what am I supposed to do? Twiddling my thumbs?".
"If you use it again, I'm afraid that the ophital won't hold it much longer".
"Zers is coming, I can't fight him on the ophital alone either".
"You have to find another way, or we'll be facing a worse threat than Zers".
I turned my back to Redein.
"Sizz summoned me not long ago".
"I know".
"You know? How did he even do that? He's locked up in Grid Tomb for crying out loud".
"He's imprisoned, not incapacitated".
"I'll rather focus on what he told you, not on how he did".
"He told me that I'll be the one to set him free and stuff".
"Not surprising".
"What do you mean?".
"Based on the situation on ground, it's too great a possibility".
"I can't possibly do that".
"Only you can truly decide".
"But I...".
"...Will rather stop your mum from attracting attention to herself".
"Wait, she's...".
"Yes, and I'll rather stop her before word gets out".
"Off you go".
As he turned his back to me, I seemed to enter another dimension.
As I transported, I remembered the beginning of all this.
"Really miss the Academy right now" I said.
