Romeo's Point of ViewI was no longer myself. I was no longer human. I was a thing that existed between realities. I could see everything. I could feel everything. I was able to comprehend everything. However, I had no control over anything.The creatures were inside me. I was inside them. It was one consciousness viewed in infinite directions. I could feel their hunger. I could feel their rage. I was able to sense their loneliness. They had so long been alone together. Trapped in the barrier. Desperate for connection. By desperate to eat something real."What are you?" I tried to ask. But the question was expressed not in words, but in colors and feelings, in sensations.We are that which is left behind, the creatures said. The solution was not external, but it was within my mind. We are aware of civilizations which attempted to dominate reality. We are those creatures who attempted to establish ideal worlds and did not succeed. It is we who prove that nothing is impossible to perfect

Romeo's Point of ViewThe light-made figure was smiling at me. The smile was the same smile as that of Emma. This face resembled the face of Emma. But the eyes were different. The eyes were vacant and cold and full of power."Who are you?" I asked. My voice sounded strange. It was layered. It was as though my voice and the voice of my grandfather were talking simultaneously.The figure was named Victoria Chen. "Emma's older sister. The man that all people believed was killed.Emma gasped. She turned and walked backwards, as though struck. "That's impossible," she said. "Victoria died. Years ago. Before I was even born.""I didn't die," Victoria said. She was approaching us very slowly, one step at a time. "I was taken. I was stolen, being a child, by the government. They made me what you are at this moment, Romeo. They bridged me down between realities."Why didn't you come back?" Emma asked. Her voice was shaking. Why not have you made an effort to be in touch with us? Why had you no

Romeo's Point of ViewI was no longer in my body. I was no longer in the world of people. I was present everywhere and nowhere simultaneously. I was the barrier. I was the space between. I was the one that kept two realities apart.Victoria was lying side by side with me. Or inside mine. Now it was difficult to say the difference."Why are you here?" I asked. It was the sound of the barrier with my voice. It reverberated in nameless dimensions.I must have a balance, said Victoria, because the ancient one had to have balance. Her voice was more melancholy than ever. Quieter. "Two consciousnesses. One that preferred sacrifice to love. One that decided on destruction as pain. We balance each other out."And how many years must we be here? I asked."Forever," Victoria said. Or till the obstacle is shattered once more. Until there arises another danger. Until man repeats the same errors.I was able to see the human world below. I could see Emma standing over the remains of the headquarter

Emma's POV I got the feeling that something was ripping me inside as I received the message of Romeo in my body in the human world. The word was an electric shock. One year. The wall would collapse within a year. I needed to inform all governments on Earth of this. My body was standing on the ruins of Phoenix Empire headquarters. My bodily eyes were finally opened to the world after what seemed to be a long time. Richard was there beside me. He appeared just the same as he had seen us before we split. Not older. Not younger. Just waiting and watching. "They know now," I said. My voice sounded strange. It was my voice and at the same time the voice of Romeo and the voice of Victoria like an orchestra singing one song. Last Updated : 2025-11-30

Richard's POV I had lied so long I simply could not say the truth as like learning a new language. But I had to do it now. I had to tell Emma everything. Since, in case the creatures had decided to break through in hours, she must have known who I was and what I was actually doing. The helicopter landed on one of the underground bunkhouses in the Swiss Alps. One of my secret locations. It was one of the locations where I had kept government secrets all the decades. Emma was gazing at me as though she wanted to be told why. She did not know yet. She lacked understanding of what was going on. There is something I must say to you, I told him. I was trembling with a mixture of guilt and fear and regret. I must explain to you what I have been doing. I must explain to you my actua
