In the Overworld, the night was still dark and serene, as Whfi and Leon lay peacefully asleep, unaware of the perilous events unfolding in the distant dimension where Nabil and Athoi fought for their lives. Time moved differently between the two realms; what felt like nearly half a day in the alternate dimension had only been half an hour in the Overworld.
Whfi and Leon remained oblivious to their companions' absence—until, suddenly, Whfi's eyes snapped open, glowing an eerie blue before he slipped back into unconsciousness, as if sensing something beyond his control.

Her armor held up against most of their assaults, but some strikes penetrated her defenses, cutting into her flesh. She was helpless, barely holding on as her strength drained further.
