Carolina gazed at Emily and Grace, feeling a sense of belonging she had never known before. Grace's ethereal presence radiated warmth and wisdom, while Emily's eyes sparkled with recognition and acceptance.

Carolina: Thanks to that artifact the Gaurdians used on you Grace; you, me and Emily are practically sisters. I don't know if I should stay in the liminal space with you two or return to the real world

Grace: Carolina, you are a part of us.

Grace whispered, her voice echoing through the infinite expanse of the liminal space.

Grace: You carry within you the essence of the artifact, the key to balance and harmony in the realms.

Carolina's heart swelled with a mixture of awe and uncertainty. She had always felt different, out of place in the world she thought she knew. Now, faced with the truth of her origins and the power she possessed, she had a choice to make.

Carolina: Do I stay here with you, my sisters, and embrace this newfound connection?

Carolina wondered aloud, her voice barely a whisper in the vastness of the liminal space.

Carolina: Or do I return to the real world, to confront the aftermath of the battle and the challenges that lie ahead?

Emily reached out and squeezed Carolina's hand, a silent reassurance passing between them. Grace's gentle smile spoke of unconditional love and support, no matter what decision Carolina made.

Grace: You are strong, Carolina

Grace said, her words resonating within Carolina's very soul.

Grace: Trust in yourself, in the bond you share with Emily and me. The path you choose will shape the destiny of us all.

Carolina gazed at Grace, feeling a mix of wonder and confusion swirling inside her. She and Emily were created from Grace and the ancient artifact—a realization that shook Carolina to her core. Could she truly be a being of such immense power?

Emily touched Carolina's arm gently, her eyes conveying understanding and support.

Emily: You have to make a choice, Carolina

Emily whispered.

Emily: Stay here with us, where we can learn together and embrace our true selves, or return to the real world and face what comes next.

Carolina felt torn. The thought of staying in this ethereal space with her newfound sisters was tempting, offering a sense of belonging and purpose she had never known before. But at the same time, the real world called to her, filled with uncertainty and challenges that needed to be confronted.

Taking a deep breath, Carolina turned to Grace, her voice steady as she spoke.

Carolina: I will return. There are still things I need to do in the real world, people who need me. But I won't forget what I've learned here, and I will come back to you both when the time is right.

Grace smiled warmly, a glimmer of pride in her eyes.

Grace: You have made a brave choice, Carolina. Remember, we will always be connected, no matter where your journey takes you.

With a final embrace shared between the sisters, Carolina felt a surge of energy enveloping her, transporting her back to the realm she had left behind. As she opened her eyes to the familiar surroundings of Crestwood High School, Carolina knew that her path was far from over. The aftermath of the battle awaited her, but with Emily by her side and Grace's guidance in her heart, she felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
