Shadows in the Sanctuary

As the first glimmer of morning filtered through her window, Avery Chen — hero, pal, and now inadvertent nexus of worlds — braced herself for whatever difficult scenarios lay ahead.

Little did she know, the greatest challenge of her life was about to begin.

The image of her harsh doppelganger stayed in Avery's mind as she gently roused her friends up. Their pleased smiles at seeing her aware rapidly faded as she mentioned her mother's warning and the anxious peek of every other reality.

"So what do we do now?" Zara inquired, her voice filled with apprehension.

A sudden tap on the door startled everyone before Avery had time to answer. Professor Elena Russo rushed in, her face blanched with desperation.

"We want to transport," she exclaimed breathlessly. "Now."

"what's taking place?" Lucas wanted an immediate alarm.
