I stepped through the void on a white cloud with my bare feet and finally arrived at the entrance to the Free Realm. When Winnie and Missia saw me, they both looked surprised.
"You've awakened Isrena's soul!" Winnie said excitedly. "I can't believe it!"
"You think I'll die in the Free Realm?" I glanced at her coldly. "As you said, if I can't awaken Isrena's soul, you'll leave Annie here!"
"Because you've been in the Free Realm for too long. We were just worried about you! But we're delighted to see you back," Missia explained. The daughter of the Moon Goddess, Isrena. Please stand with your sisters. We need your help!"
"How long was I in there?" I asked.
"About a day!" Winnie replied.
A day in the Free Realm was equivalent to ten years on Earth. It was difficult to imagine what had happened within ten years of Annie's death! But none of this mattered anymore!
