As Blakely, Maven, Iris, and the loyal panda summons passed through the swirling black and purple portal, the comforting warmth of Aetheria's Mystic Realm dissolved behind them, and they found themselves stepping into an entirely different atmosphere—one that was eerie, cold, and filled with an unsettling stillness.
The Void Realm, ruled by Netheria, the Primordial of the Void, stretched endlessly before them. There was no ground, no sky—just an expanse of shimmering black, punctuated by distant stars that flickered faintly. The entire realm felt like the space between existence, a place where time and matter seemed to lose their meaning. The silence was almost oppressive, broken only by the occasional pulse of energy that rippled through the void like a heartbeat.
Maven shivered, rubbing her arms as she looked around, her fox ears twitching nervously. "Okay, this place is officially creepy. Feels like we're standing in the middle of nowhere."
