Formless realm
COLORS, MORE STARTLING THAN a rainbow after a summer rain
shower, streamed past Galindra’s eyes and swirled around her head.
She looked down and gasped. The floor of the portal chamber in
Havenwood’s Palace of Golden Boughs was nowhere to be seen. Instead,
multi-hued streaks of brilliant iridescence sailed by beneath, alongside, and
above her, disappearing into the far distance.
On impulse, she reached out a hand to grasp onto a solid surface. There
was none. Yet, her footing was firm despite the lack of a visible support.
A curse caught her attention, and she turned. Valeth stood a few feet
away, wearing a bemused expression. Galindra rushed to her and the pair
embraced. “I thought I almost lost you again, Mother.”
Valeth stroked Galindra’s hair as the edges of her lips curled in a soft
smile. “No, daughter-mine. We are together still. It would be heartbreaking
indeed to be parted so soon after only just reuniting.” A grim look chased
the joy from her face. “But it seems we have a new peril to contend with.
What is the last thing you remember?”
Galindra stepped back and cocked her head, her eyes going wide as
recollection flooded in. “The troll mage’s dark spell! It reemerged and
sought to gain power over us. I heard its foul words in my mind.”
She ducked as an especially intense band of shimmering color flashed
past her head. “We, along with Melnik, were in the portal chamber at the
Palace of Golden Boughs, in Havenwood. We were on the verge of bringing
the portal back under control and preventing it from exploding after the
Dane-entity used the gateway to journey to Earth.”
Valeth wore a distant expression, gazing into their surroundings. She
rubbed a hand against her cheek, her demeanor pensive. “Yes, I too
experienced the incantation’s vitriolic pronouncement inside my head. I
suspect it is responsible for our present dilemma.”
“Where are we?”
Valeth paused before replying as a warm breeze ruffled her hair. “Stories
are told of the existence of this place. I was never certain I believed them
until now.” She bent, tapping the invisible, yet firm, ground, then
straightened. “Unless this is a bizarre, shared hallucination, I’d hazard a
guess we are between dimensions, in the formless realm.”
Galindra’s eyebrows arched, and she frowned at the shapeless colors
crowding them on all sides. “The primeval land beyond a portal’s
threshold? I had always deemed it to be a myth.”
“It would seem not.” Valeth took a few tentative steps forward. “I often
wondered what became of our essence when portaling. Now, it seems, we
know.”
“The transition from one location to another is usually instantaneous,”
Galindra said. “If what you suggest is correct, then by what means have we
landed here, I wonder?”
She peered at the gyrating kaleidoscope beneath her feet and continued in
the silence that followed. “I suspect you are right. It must be the dark spell’s
doing. The question is, does it seek to entomb us here forever?” She stroked
a finger against the gem at the base of her throat. “
