My Dear Reader,


With the cosmic quill dipped in the ink of realms untold, let me unfurl the tale of Ray's journey into the heart of an astral forest, a realm woven with the threads of magic and shadows.

In the whispering woods, where emerald leaves danced to an ethereal melody, Ray emerged with the grace of a celestial being. Yet, her senses were attuned to an otherworldly beacon—an enigmatic beeping that echoed through the mystical groves.


Following the cosmic compass embedded within her very essence, Ray navigated the labyrinth of trees until she reached a secluded clearing. There, beneath the oppressive weight of a fallen giant, lay Oliver, a captive to the shadows cast by the cruelty of his peers.

Without hesitation, Ray summoned the cosmic energies that coursed through her being. With a gentle touch, the colossal tree yielded, freeing Oliver from its arboreal prison. Tears flowed down his cheeks as he recounted the tale of the "mean boys" who orchestrated this act of malevolence.


Kneeling beside him, Ray enveloped Oliver in a comforting embrace. "Everything is gonna be okay, don't worry," she assured him, her words a soothing melody against the cacophony of shadows.

Yet, as tranquility sought refuge in their hearts, shadows more profound than the night manifested. Sinister entities, feasting on colors and fueled by darker desires, slithered toward them. Their malevolent hunger palpable in the air.


In a quintessential anime twist, Ray swiftly lifted Oliver onto her back, invoking cosmic energies that propelled them forward. Through the whispering woods, they danced, a celestial waltz defying the laws of gravity. Shadows pursued, their insatiable appetite twisting the very fabric of reality.

Between leaps and bounds, Ray's thoughts raced, and in a momentary respite, she called upon the cosmic winds, seeking answers from the Death Reaper. "What were those things?" Her query, a cryptic whisper in the astral breeze, lingered as they continued their escape.


Through the veil of uncertainty, Ray and Oliver soared, the forest enfolding their destiny within its ancient embrace. The cosmic tapestry, once again, painted their tale in hues of mystery and courage.

Yours in ink and destiny,
