Celeste's POV
*****
6:30pm, Hybrid Trial
It's been almost an hour since Caelum and I landed in this pocket dimension. So much had happened already that I didn't know if I could take any more.
Merely looking at the road ahead made me realise... There were certainly more obstacles. More that would test my limits in ways I wasn't sure I could take.
The silver-violet path shimmered with faint runes which glowed brighter the further I walked. Also, when I glanced to my right, I realised I could no longer see the crimson road Caelum had taken.
Worry hit me instantly.
Yes, I knew Caelum could handle himself. But remembering our hurdle at those mirrors and how his reflection looked. Those cold, bloodshot eyes—
—That wasn't my brother.
Yet I knew it could be.
And the same thing went for my reflection.
"That's the whole fucking point of this thing, huh?" I raised my head, squinting at the storm-ridden sky. "Confronting what makes us dangerous. Instabilities we... Hide away."
